Vem maluco nego
Come Crazy Nego
Malaco, balacubaco, balacubaco
Malaco, balacubaco, balacubaco
Ne mamate negeba lorota mata barata
Ne mamate denies bullshit kills cockroaches
Okitó cuidado com kukunegeba malaca negeba
Okitó be careful with kukunegeba malaca negeba
Nego paga o mico
Nego pays the price
Que solta a macaca
That releases the monkey
Que calamatraca
What a calamatra
O batuque toca
The drum plays
A pipoca é pouco
There is little popcorn
É pipoco, é soco na cara
It's popcorn, it's a punch in the face
O batuque toca
The drum plays
A pipoca é pouco
There is little popcorn
É pipoco, é soco na cara
It's popcorn, it's a punch in the face
O batuque toca
The drum plays
A pipoca é pouco
There is little popcorn
É pipoco, é soco na cara
It's popcorn, it's a punch in the face
Nego paga o mico
Nego pays the price
Que solta a macaca
That releases the monkey
Que calamatraca
What a calamatra
Vem galego sarrapo
Come Galician sarrapo
Subiu pra cabeça
It went to the head
Subiu pra cabeça
It went to the head
Que na multidão, na muvuca
That in the crowd, in the muvuca
To na prontidão, to na luta
I'm ready, I'm in the fight
Tem truta, sem treta, sem culpa
There's trout, no bullshit, no guilt
Amarelo, tem branca, tem pardo e preta
Yellow, white, brown and black
Possibilidade de você não vim dançar
Chances are you didn't come to dance
Possibilidade de você não vim sambar
Possibility of you not coming to samba
Possibilidade de você não vim sambando
Possibility of you not coming samba
Diradirerirando
Diradirerirando
