Corta Jaca

In this world of miseries
Who reigns is the most carefree!
It's the one who knows how to cut jackfruit in the sways
Of supreme perfection, perfection

This dance is playful, so charming
That everyone wants to dance!
There are no rich baronesses, nor marchionesses
Who don't want (know how) to sway, to sway

This step has a spell, like a hedgehog
Makes any man go crazy!
There's no grumpy old man, nor serious one
Who doesn't fall into the rhythm, the rhythm

Whoever sees me so happy in Flamengo
Will surely surrender!
Can't resist for sure, for sure
This way of moving

A Flamengo so delightful, so noisy
Is worth a pretty penny!
Everyone says it's on point, it's on point
Our dance corta-jaca, corta-jaca!

Oh, oh, how good it is to dance, oh!
Corta-jaca like this, like this, olé! - Move with the foot!
Oh, oh, it has a spell, oh!
Dance (cut) my darling like this, olé!
