Mendes, Sergio - One Note Samba (Samba De Uma Nota So) Lyrics






This is just a little samba
Built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
But the root is still that note
Now this new one 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 nothing

And 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
Everyone 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

Everyone 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

    Sergio Mendes doesn't need a rapper to be relevant. He has been the king of cool for 50+ years. It didn't ruin the show or anything, it just give real fans of Mendes' music a chance to stretch or check your phone. But if that creates a new generation of fans, well, good.

  6. E.... R....

    Don't degrade your music so good without the rap,, you can hear that on every radio station , it's terrible how is taking over good music, trust me it's not good,, rap took over after the Disco era,, I knew things were doomed after that.

  18. A.... B....

    The rapper is trash

    Sergio Mendes da Presidente Pedreira no Ingá simplesmente levou a música popular brasileira para o mundo, pior ele consegue acompanhar a características da música do país onde está radicado, Sérgio Mendes será sempre Sérgio Mendes dê 1964 do ano 3000 é fenomenal é gênio. Viva Niterói.

  20. J.... B....

    He ruined the song,,,,,,,Sergio what were you thinking of????

  21. T.... C....

    No one likes rap. Don't compromise your music, Sergio. It was all cool until that guy got out there. Please, no more. Great, otherwise.

    Great tune by Jobim. Great players in Mendes band.

    R.... B....

    go go marco !

  38. S.... J....

    5:30 Yep. That's me...😆 I'm very serious, it really is me.. 8 years old.

  39. k.... a....

    The rapper song, came from "Timeless" album, produced by will I am of black eyes pee. I love this ablum. It's a mixture of many styles of music together but theme on latin&bossanova base.
    One of most creative music. I think.

  40. C.... M....

    Whatz the name of the Backup Singers ?

  41. G.... ....

    Sergio always stays current with the pop culture . We old school folks don't really dig rap.

  42. r.... n....

    close minded purists out here dissing on the rap. the rap fits so well and if you can't respect sergio's choice to embrace fusion, that sounds like a YOU problem :)

    r.... n....

    Except rap is not music! It's monotone talking while music plays in the background to maintain a tempo. It certainly has nothing to do with jazz, which was Sergio Mendez' initial claim to fame, thanks to Herb Alpert. Their ORIGINAL version of One Note Samba was the stuff of musical legend! This version is an over-produced version played by a band that grew too big for the original song & Sergio (or whoever is in charge now) didn't have the heart to ask the extra (unneeded) musicians to sit this song out. Bummer. Ok sound but not in the same league as the original (I didn't even listen to the rap portion).

    r.... n....

    Exactly said Rap is Crap !

  43. g.... c....

    fabuloso..

  44. M.... G....

    Sensacional

  45. s.... 1....

    co za syf ten rap

  46. A.... R....

    Everything was nice until that cringing rap

    A.... R....

    Но особенно,

  47. J.... H....

    uf excellente !!!!!

  48. m.... ....

    He is old fart now, but thanks to him brasilian music in any language is known throughout the planet Earth!

  49. P.... A....

    bossa en ingles!!!! que horrible.

  50. Q.... m....

    mi fa impazzire questa musica,viva Brasil!

  51. B.... L....

    Haha! Lose the rapper Sergio. What a noise

  52. J.... A....

    He got funkier

  53. A.... C....

    Poor Tom Jobim, when listen that kind of arrengements twist in your tomb.

    A.... C....

    Apt Castelo disse tudo . BOSTA TOTAL !!! Diarrhea

    A.... C....

    No sir! because when the music play is the life and Tom don't have problem whife diversity

  54. �.... ....

    its not jazz...

  55. Y.... M....

    0:01 Samba de uma nota só
    2:22 Surfboard (Instrumental)

  56. M.... P....

    What I mean is can an electric car be continually charged as it is being driven?

  57. E.... A....

    Sergio Mendes is one of the last remaining Brazilian artists that had the art of mixing, samba and bossa nova with jazz.
    And last years,Sergio proved his continuing evolving musical mind, mixing Brazilian music With hip hop and Rap. I love it-.Yo only must give your ear and your mind to the music.

  58. t.... m....

    everything was OK.just. until the rap was on.....naaah!

    t.... m....

    thelma mwadzaya guy is yellow must be retarded

    t.... m....

    Rap is a mood fuck.
    Who needs that? It's like the neighbors ghetto dog pissing on your prize rose bushes.

  59. m.... ....

    Who is playing the drum kit?

    m.... ....

    musicteacheronline :Michael Shapiro is on drums.

  60. G.... E....

    Fantastic version and
    I want the blonde girl :)

  61. A.... N....

    bellísima!!

  62. F.... M....

    the rap session ruined the song

    F.... M....

    They sing about "people who can talk and talk and talk and just say nothing". Then the yo in the yellow shirt comes out and does exactly that. The irony is deep...

  63. C.... R....

    grande musica! allegria,Gioia di vivere!

  64. j.... ....

    Brasil!!!!

  65. t.... ....

    i like it !

  66. P.... R....

    Whatever the guy in the backward cap is singing, it doesn't fit the song at all

    P.... R....

    Phil Rey total acordo.

  67. A.... G....

    isso que é música show !!!!

  68. b.... ....

    the rapper has swag, but sorry...don't you think rap has saturated EVERYTHING? Leave somethings pure....

    b.... ....

  72. G.... D....

  74. B.... H....

    wah ! ça c'est du chromatique j'l'ai reconnu tt de suite Lol

  75. C.... Q....

    sergio mendez un grande del jazz...

  76. E.... A....

    show...espetacular...batida perfeita.

  77. R.... S....

    Never hire pop singers to sing bossanova jazz.

    R.... S....

    Olufemi A.G. congrats you have managed to popify bossanova.

    R.... S....

    What do you all know about Brazilian music if you are not fluent in , Afro Brazilian rhythims?

    R.... S....

    and don't mix any ingredients from different cultures when you cook
    Ryo. you might actually come with something new and exciting.
    you want to eat schnitzel and potatoes or kim chee and rice and beef like mama made it your whole life go ahead, you fuddy duddy stuck in the mud square. I like new flavors. fusion cooking and jazz is delicious. I like mom's cooking , and comidas tradicionales puro but sometimes , let s try something new.
    shiitake mushrooms in a salad, a vegetable "eintopf" or on focaccia. yum. the analogy is valid. don't argue . loosen up, shut up and go try some new food and flavors in music too.

    R.... S....

    yeah, and Miles sold out and popified jazz. boring argument. go back to sleep Ryo dream of pure traditional music never changing in you dream

    R.... S....

    oops. wrong. she told you. the arrangement is more audience friendly and pop, than say Elaina Elias, whose version i like much much more, but the singers are qualified jazz bossa singers. Sergio makes mad money, but he only hires good versatile musicians. got ears, Ryo?

  78. R.... R....

    Great rendition of a classic!  Is that the former Yutaka Yokokura on synth?  
    But, the lady in white seems to be none other than . . . Hillary Clinton, OMG!

    R.... R....

    @Ron Robbins Um, no.... that's not Hillary. It's Sergio's wife and original band member, Gracinha Leporace

    R.... R....

    thanks for the info!  But um, you DID know I was joking, right?  

    R.... R....

    @Ron Robbins No.. how would I have known that?

    R.... R....

    @VioletLotus that's okay, you just rest now and take it easy!

  79. B.... S....

    Stupide... you was very good 20 years ago......now ...it is (CIRCUS)......of my opinion it is not need... to do that....stay like before

  80. J.... E....

    Com a Intro de Batida Diferente!!
    belezaaa!

  81. W.... W....

    Came for "One Note Samba," stayed for "Surfboard."
    6 minutes of greatness.

  82. M.... L....

    C'est mon favoris :)) je l'adore !!!

    M.... L....

    Me to Miry,pretty hot;) aloha!

  83. G.... P....

    Sizzzlleeee...

  84. d.... ....

    Best Latin Jazz ever

    d.... ....

    is Bossa Nova

  85. H.... J....

    Right, i found out what's the title of that piece of music from 2.00 til 2.10. 
    No further need for you to help me out.

    H.... J....

    This is a short Part of "Spanish Flea" by Herb Albert & Tiujana Brass

    H.... J....

    @dhag2007

  86. m.... ....

    Solamente lo dañó ese rapero que incluyeron.......que porqueriaaaaa!

  87. H.... J....

    Oke, what's the title of the piece of music played from 2.00 till 2.10. I think it's from Herb Alpert. Who has the right answer?

    H.... J....

    +Hans Jansen I'm sure you had the answer two years ago, but it's part of 'Spanish Flea' (Herp Alpert, as you stated)

  88. M.... A....

    I think that is Yutaka Yokokura  playing the other keyboard solo

  89. C.... ....

    Antonio Carlos Jobim would have been so PROUD!

  90. F.... C....

    che classe!!!

  91. J.... L....

    Just killer … so fun & hip too …!!

  92. L.... V....

    Me Encarta Sergio

  93. B.... ....

    da fuck with the rapper?

  94. G.... ....

    what a beautiful blonde singing....

    G.... ....

    ...oui, très belle choriste...ne s'agit-il pas de Katie Hamilton ? Quel charme !!

  95. A.... S....

    If u stupid ppl dont like the rapper or the song, why do u watch?! I love everything about it, love Sergio Mendes, all his songs, music is art, theres right or wrong in art, learn how to appreciate it or be quiet!

    A.... S....

    Be quiet? Really? As a consumer (and observer), I have an opinion on everything, Andreia. Even I can likely do what the no-talent (in my opinion) rapper is doing.

    A.... S....

    How does one learn to appreciate shit?

  96. A.... S....

    Essa musica eh super bacana, so faltaram algumas sambistas ou algum dancando um sabinha ai ne?
