I said, 'Take it easy, baby
Aku bilang, 'Santai saja, sayang
I worked all day and my feet feel just like lead
Aku kerja seharian dan kakiku terasa berat seperti timah
You got my shirt tails
Kau bikin ekor bajuku
Flyin' all over the place
Terbang ke sana kemari
And the sweat poppin' out of my head'
Dan keringat bercucuran dari kepalaku'
She said, 'Hey, Bossa nova, baby
Dia bilang, 'Hey, Bossa nova, sayang
Keep on a workin' child
Terus kerja, nak
This ain't no time to quit'
Ini bukan saatnya untuk menyerah'
She said, 'Go, Bossa nova, baby
Dia bilang, 'Ayo, Bossa nova, sayang
Keep on dancin'
Terus menari
I'm about to have myself a fit'
Aku hampir tidak bisa menahan diri'
Bossa nova, Bossa nova
Bossa nova, Bossa nova

I said, 'Hey little mama,
Aku bilang, 'Hey mama kecil,
Let's sit down
Ayo duduk
Have a drink and dig the band'
Minum dan nikmati band-nya'
She said, 'Drink, drink, drink
Dia bilang, 'Minum, minum, minum
Oh, fiddle-de-dink
Oh, santai saja
I can dance with a drink in my hand'
Aku bisa menari dengan minuman di tanganku'
She said 'Hey Bossa nova, baby
Dia bilang, 'Hey Bossa nova, sayang
Keep on workin' child
Terus kerja, nak
This ain't no time to drink'
Ini bukan saatnya untuk minum'
She said 'Go, Bossa nova, baby
Dia bilang, 'Ayo, Bossa nova, sayang
Keep on dancin'
Terus menari
'Cause I ain't got time to think'
Karena aku tidak punya waktu untuk berpikir'

I said, 'Come on, baby
Aku bilang, 'Ayo, sayang
It's hot in here
Di sini panas
And it's oh so cool outside
Dan di luar sangat sejuk
If you lend me a dollar
Jika kau pinjamkan aku satu dolar
I can buy some gas
Aku bisa beli bensin
And we can go for a little ride'
Dan kita bisa jalan-jalan sebentar'
She said, 'Hey Bossa nova, baby
Dia bilang, 'Hey Bossa nova, sayang
Keep on workin' child
Terus kerja, nak
I ain't got time for that'
Aku tidak punya waktu untuk itu'
She said, 'Go Bossa nova, baby
Dia bilang, 'Ayo Bossa nova, sayang
Keep on dancin'
Terus menari
Or I'll find myself another cat'
Atau aku akan cari cowok lain'
