Balança Brasil

Ah, my Brazil
The city went to the sea
Rio de Janeiro, the redeemer
Open arms for anyone who arrives
I saw the sky in the blue of the girl's eyes
I hit the road to Vitória
To see my girl from Espírito Santo again

Ah, my Brazil
Salvador is right there
Good Bahia has canoes
Good women and carefree folks
My samba reggae rocked it down in Sergipe
In Alagoas, Pajuçara, Praia Linda
Oh, my Northeast

Ah, my Brazil
That night in Pernambuco
Olinda, beautiful Recife
Making love on the sand of Boa Viagem
In the sky and the gossip in Itamaracá

Ah, my Brazil
Forrobodó in Paraíba
My Rio Grande, Natal
Speak up, it’s a party everywhere
São João gets lively in the forró over there

Ah, my Brazil
At night it’s great in Ceará
Hot women everywhere
Who knows, we might still
Run into each other there

Shake it, Brazil
I love to see you happy
Shake it, Brazil
The dream of so many people
Shake it, Brazil
Shake up this country of mine
So we can be happy

Ah, my Brazil
São Luís do Maranhão
Got into reggae for good
There, Brazil went to Jamaica

In Piauí, I almost got married in Teresina
There’s Jorgete, Luzinete
Bernadete, Carolina

Ah, my Brazil
Arriving in Belém do Pará
I killed it in the carimbó
In the cirimbó and the merengue
In Amazonas, Goiás
In Mato Grosso
I was a drifter, I was a caboclo
Saw the wildlife, what a spectacle

Ah, my Brazil
São Paulo isn’t just drizzle
My Rio Grande do Sul
Has the bombacha, the fandango
Has the spirit, the chimarrão
Good cachaça, oh, my Paraná

Ah, my Brazil
From Santa Catarina
I flew to Minas Gerais
A quiet girl, too suspicious
So loved, my sweet girlfriend

Ah, my Brazil
I’m heading to the parade with you all
I’m a regular at carnival
I think I’m gonna live in Rio for good

Shake it, Brazil
I love to see you happy
Shake it, Brazil
The dream of so many people
Shake it, Brazil
Shake up this country of mine
So we can be happy

Shake it, Brazil
I love to see you happy
Shake it, Brazil
The dream of so many people
Shake it, Brazil
Shake up this country of mine
So we can be happy
