Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Disseram Que Eu Voltei Americanizada by Adriana Calcanhotto from Portuguese to English.
Disseram que eu voltei americanizada
They said I came back Americanized
Com o burro do dinheiro
With a lot of money
Que estou muito rica
That I am very rich
Que não suporto mais o breque do pandeiro
That I can't stand the pandeiro's brake anymore
E fico arrepiada ouvindo uma cuíca
And I get chills listening to a cuíca
E disseram que com as mãos
And they said that with my hands
Estou preocupada
I am worried
E corre por aí
And it runs around
Que eu sei certo zum zum
That I know a certain buzz
Que já não tenho molho, ritmo, nem nada
That I no longer have sauce, rhythm, or anything
E dos balangandans já não existe mais nenhum
And there are no more trinkets left
Mas pra cima de mim, pra que tanto veneno
But why so much venom towards me
Eu posso lá ficar americanizada
Can I stay Americanized
Eu que nasci com o samba e vivo no sereno
I who was born with samba and live in the open air
Topando a noite inteira a velha batucada
Enjoying the old batucada all night long
Nas rodas de malandro minhas preferidas
In the circles of hustlers, my favorites
Eu digo mesmo eu te amo, e nunca I love you
I say I love you, and never I love you
Enquanto houver Brasil
As long as there is Brazil
Na hora da comida
At mealtime
Eu sou do camarão ensopadinho com chuchu
I am for shrimp stew with chayote
