Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Vamos Pra Gaiola by Kevin O Chris from Portuguese to English.

If you wanna roll

I'm gonna show you the best party

In Rio de Janeiro

You already know which one

The Complexo da Penha

It's a real wild scene

Let's go to Gaiola

'Cause everything's good

Thin 'stache, hairline sharp

She looked at me, I looked at her

I said like this

So come with Kevin O Chris

Sit, sit

Ah, sh*t

Sit, sit

Ah, sh*t

Sit, sit

Ah, sh*t

I'll drop it like this then, yo

Come, young babe, don't cling

Take it, take it on the p*ssy

Come, young babe, don't cling

Take it, take it on the p*ssy

Come, young babe, don't cling

Take it, take it on the p*ssy

(FP from Trem Bala, talk to me, my friend

Drop the vision, let's go, let's go, baby

Faith, faith)

If you wanna roll

I'm gonna show you the best party

In Rio de Janeiro

You already know which one

The Complexo da Penha

It's a real wild scene

Let's go to Gaiola

'Cause everything's good

Thin 'stache, hairline sharp

She looked at me, I looked at her

I said like this

So come with Kevin O Chris

Sit, sit

Ah, sh*t

Sit, sit

Ah, sh*t

Sit, sit

Ah, sh*t

I'll drop it like this then, yo

Come, young babe, don't cling

Take it, take it on the p*ssy

Come, young babe, don't cling

Take it, take it on the p*ssy

Come, young babe, don't cling

Take it, take it on the p*ssy

(FP from Trem Bala, talk to me, my friend

Drop the vision, let's go, let's go, baby

Faith, faith)

SONG MEANING

In this high-voltage funk anthem, Kevin O Chris and FP do Trem Bala send out an open invitation to Rio de Janeiro’s most legendary street party: Baile da Gaiola, held in the favela complex of Penha. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the scene — razor-sharp haircuts, thin mustaches, booming speakers and a sea of bodies moving in sync. By repeating the line “Vamos pra Gaiola” (Let’s go to Gaiola), the artists celebrate the community’s pride and the irresistible pull of a night where worries are left at the door.

The chorus fires off the command “senta, senta,” slang for “drop it low,” underscoring the dance-driven, flirtatious atmosphere that defines funk carioca. Kevin playfully boosts his own swagger, while urging newcomers — especially the carefree “novinha” (young girl) — to forget attachments and just feel the beat. Packed with catchy hooks and bold, tongue-in-cheek lines, the song captures the raw energy, sensuality and freedom of Rio’s favela parties, turning a local cultural phenomenon into a dance-floor invitation heard around the world.
