Told My Ma

"[Chorus] I told my ma, about the town I love so well I told my ma, about the town I love My time will come, raising up my family I told my ma, about the town I love I'm leaving for an island, way down in the south Where the roads are curved and dusty with no names The people's so inviting, they're smiling everywhere With a tempo I can share [Chorus] I'd like to get together, where there's samba in the streets In a tropical favela to the beats In Santa Catarina, a hot summer night Are you ready, to ignite? [Chorus] I said Oh oh hungry eyes, hungry eyes My apprise, all for you Oh, hungry eyes Until the morning's arise [Chorus: x2] "
