Dora
Dorival Caymmi
Dora
Dora, the queen of frevo and maracatu
Dora, the mixed-race queen of a maracatu
That I met in the reef of the rivers
Bridge cuts
From the neighborhoods, from the colonial sources
Dora, I called
Hey, Dora! Hey, Dora!
I came to the city
To see my love pass by
Hey, Dora!
Now in my thoughts
I see you shaking this way
Now go away, my dear
The bugles of the military band
They play to announce
Your Dora, now it will pass
Come see what's good
Hey, Dora!
Queen of frevo and maracatu
No one shakes or dances
Better than you
Hey, Dora!
Queen of frevo and maracatu
Oh, no one shakes or dances
Better than you
Oh, Dora! Oh, Dora!
