Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Quer dá nó em pingo d’água

Wants to tie a knot in a drop of water

Quer andar na contramão

Wants to go against the flow

Quer meter o louco

Wants to act crazy

Pra cima do negão?

Against the black man?


Quer da jeitinho brasileiro

Wants to use the Brazilian way

Mas que jeitinho é esse

But what way is this

Que só defende os seus interesses?

That only defends its interests?


Sou baiano, guerreiro

I'm Bahian, a warrior

Do gueto

From the ghetto

Conexão jamaica

Jamaican connection

África sul-americanizada

South Americanized Africa


Eu sei bem dos meus

I know well about my

Direitos

Rights

Não vejo bicho com nada

I don't see anything wrong

Nem a sua cara emburrada

Not even your sulky face


Oh vei tá vacilando, é

Oh man, you're messing up, huh?

Oh vei, não vem me enganar

Oh man, don't try to deceive me

Oh vei, que laranjada é essa

Oh man, what kind of mess is this?

Oh vei, pra cima de muá?

Oh man, against me?
