Um, dois e lá vão os três
Negra melodia que vem do sangue do coração,
I Know how to dance, dance like a black young black
American black do Brás do Brasil.
Dance my girl don't cry to stop me
My woman don't cry, cause, everything is gonna be all righ
O meu pisante colorido, o meu barraco lá no morro de São Carlos
Meu cachorro paraíba, minha cabrocha, minha cocota
A minha mona lá no largo do Estácio de Sá
Forget your troubles and dance
Forget your sorrows and dance
Forget your sickness and dance
Forget your weakness and dance, reggae is another bago
