Oh, come on! Get out of my way

Ice, frozen snow, dying plants - grimness abounds, dear reader.

What we need is a little warmth in our lives! And, as today is the 80th birthday of that maestro of the bossa nova Sérgio Mendes, I think this classic number of his provides the perfect solution:

Mas que Nada
Sai da minha frente
Eu quero passar
Pois o samba está animado
O que eu quero é sambar.

Oh, come on!
Get out of my way
I want to pass through
Because the samba is animated
What I want is to dance samba.

I'm sipping a caipirinha by a beach as we speak, sweetie!

In my mind, anyhow.
