Coisa de Pele

We can smile
Nothing else stops us
Can't run away
From this skin thing
Felt by us
Untying the knots
We know now
Not everything good comes from outside
It's our song
Through the streets and bars
That brings us reason
Remembering Palmares
It was good to insist
Compose and listen
Resist who can
To the force of our pagodes

And samba is made
A peaceful prisoner
Of our tantans
The banjo frees
From the people's throat their emotions
Feeding much more the head of a composer
Eternal refuge of peace
Source of the various expressions of love

Popular art
From our land
It's the people who produce the show and sign the direction
