Verse 1
Samba em dia de chuva
Samba on a rainy day
Exagera alguma coisa
Exaggerate something
Faz da dupla muito mais
It makes the duo much more
Passa um frio na espinha
Sends a chill down your spine
Pelo calor da palmada
By the heat of the spanking
Move a moça e o rapaz
Move the girl and the boy
Ela sorri com a barriga
She smiles with her belly
Ele corteja a preferida
He courts his favorite
Amor a gente é muito mais
Love, we are much more
O samba é roda sem medida
Samba is a circle without measure
A chuva agora é colorida
The rain is now colorful
E a harmonia se refaz
And harmony is restored
Prechorus 1
Quando vão pela avenida
When they go down the avenue
Levam qualquer incerteza
Take any uncertainty
É um passo à frente
It's a step forward
Um passo atrás
One step back
Chorus 1
Pega na barra da saia
Grab the hem of the skirt
Tomara que caia
I hope it falls
A barra da saia
The hem of the skirt
Tomara que saia
I hope it comes out
Sambando eu vou
Samba I'm going
Chorus 2
Pega na barra da saia
Grab the hem of the skirt
Tomara que caia
I hope it falls

Tomara que saia
I hope it comes out

Samba I'm going
Minha imperfeição é a voz da vez
My imperfection is the voice of the moment
