mas que nada

samba time!
listening to sergio mendes
brazil 66
mas que nada
i long for venezuela
the argentine
rio baby rio
dayton doesn't cut it
they don't understand
my continental tendencies
i hit the asphalt
and inside my tired exterior
beat conga drums and bongos and mojitos
course through me like guerillas in a jungle hideaway
plotting revolutions and urban warfare and and
and i think i'm going nuts as my life is piddling away
in tv land and strip malls and a million abominations
that run together like a double whopper with cheese and fries and coke
it's a slow hot wind that's circulating through my soul tonight
as sergio and the girls sing
mas que nada, mas que nada, mas que nada...

hot tune dude
like slick sweat on a brazilian girl
I'll play it in the lounge tonight
if you hum me a few bars

I like it because the title is my name in Spanish
I wonder what it sounds like in Portuguese?
