This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are sure to follow
But the root is still that note...

Now this new note is the consequence
Of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable
Consequence of you...

There's so many people
Who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing or nearly nothing

I have used up all the scale I know
And at the end I've come to nothing
Or nearly no – thing

So I came back to my first note
As I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
All the love I feel for you

Any one who wants the whole show
Re-mi-fa-sol-la-si-do
He will find himself with no show
Better play the note you know

Este es sólo un pequeño samba
Creado con una sola nota
Otras notas seguro han de seguirle
Pero la raíz sigue siendo esa nota...

Ahora esta nota nueva es consecuencia
De la que acabamos de pasar
Como estoy predestinado a ser
Tu inevitable consecuencia...

Hay tanta gente
Que habla y habla y habla
Y no dice nada o casi nada

Sé que he agotado toda la escala
Y al final he llegado a nada
O casi na – da

Regresé entonces a mi primera nota
Como debo regresar a ti
Pondré en esa única nota
Todo el amor que siento por ti

Todo aquel que busque toda la serie
Do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do
No hallará serie alguna
Mejor toca una nota conocida
