Negra melodia que vem do sangue e do coração
I know how to dance
like a black, black young black, american black
do brás do brasil
my girl don't try to stop me
my woman don't cry
cause everything is going to be alright

meu pisante colorido
meu barraco lá no morro de são carlos
meu cachorro paraíba
minha cabrocha, minha cocota,
a minha mona lá do largo do estácio de sá
forget your troubles and dance
forget your sorrows and dance
forget your sickness and dance
forget your weakness
cause everything is going to be alright
