Festa da Música

For a long time this cool party has been going on
Of Brazilian popular music
Nobody invited me but I wanted to come in
I took bus 175 and came straight here

For the party of Brazilian music
That's happening here on Antônio Carlos Jobim street
Everyone is here and there's no end time
And many people are still to arrive

At the entrance, the security guard asked for Gilberto Gil's badge
He just smiled
Accompanied by Caetano, Djavan, Pepeu
Elba, Moraes, Alceu Valença
(Come with me! Excuse me! Open that door, you rascal)
And that's how I got in with the Northeastern gang

Baby is here, feeling good! Hey, Sandra de Sá!
Bye, bye, sadness
Party all night long
Look at Ed Motta raiding the fridge
Look at all the beautiful and hot girls!
Look at Tiririca with a sweet black woman

Hey! Where are the critics?! Nobody invited?
Barred from the Ball, uouou
It's not a coat party but Ney took off his clothes
Bzzz, Paulinho Moska landed in my soup
Cidade Negra presented a top-notch reggae
There's a Skank playing too!
And Tim Maia still hasn't shown up
But Jorge Ben Jor brought the band that arrived
To liven up the Party

Party of Brazilian music
That's happening here on Antônio Carlos Jobim street
Everyone is here and there's no end time
And many people are still to arrive

The party is going well
Lobão hasn't spoken ill of anyone yet
Barão and Titãs are playing Raulzito
Rita Lee is coming over there
Huh? I can't believe it! She looked at me and said
Dance with me
I felt that chill in my stomach
But of course, I loved the invitation and went to dance
Listening to Kid Abelha, Paralamas and Blitz

(This is so good, this is too good)
Hold Tchan, tie Tchan
(Go away, Satan!)
Ha ha! Lulu Santos just arrived
With the hot pepper to shake the planet
Chico César, Science and Buarque observe
Some people breakdancing on the floor
And upstairs, one of the party hosts
Is cool, at peace, playing a guitar
Strange party with weird people, I'm not feeling well
I can't take any more booze

Party of Brazilian music
That's happening here on Antônio Carlos Jobim street
Everyone is here and there's no end time
And many people are still to arrive

Draft beer in a tulip glass, wine in a glass
(Condom on the bottle's mouth)
Save yourself if you can!
Oh, João Gordo vomited on my foot
I went to clean it and came face to face with Os Raimundos
Who told me they came in through the back

I asked for the bathroom and made a fool of myself
The bastards sent me to the women's bathroom
The girls were there and as soon as I entered
Cássia Eller, Zizi Possi and Gal
Started screaming
So healthy! Fernanda Abreu, Daniela Mercury
Marisa Monte, Daúde
Calm down, I didn't see anything! Angela RôRô
Wanted to beat me up

But the three scoundrels, Moreira, Bezerra and Dicró
Helped me escape the worst
I went to the backyard, house of samba
Everyone drinks, everyone dances
Beth Carvalho, Alcione, Zeca Pagodinho
Neguinho da Beija-flor, tell me, Martinho!
How is it, professor?
It's slow, it's slow, very slowly

Party of Brazilian music
That's happening here on Antônio Carlos Jobim street
Everyone is here and there's no end time
And many people are still to arrive

This party is crazy
Look there, Carlinhos Brown with the guys
From Sepultura, they came with the Xavante Indians
And the police came trying to catch them red-handed
E-e-e-ê! The Indian has a whistle and I didn't understand
Why they started whistling when the police arrived
But the peace pipe gang didn't even hear
Because Olodum was playing a cool beat
Until thousands of funk dancers arrived
There were so many duos that I got confused
I called Leandro & Leonardo MC!
And Zezé de Camargo & Luciano were teasing me
And the funk playing, ah, you had to see
Chitãozinho & Xororó shouting: Uh, tererê!

The Jovem Guarda people shaking non-stop
They were at another party, but they came here
I passed by and heard Roberto commenting
Hey, what a wave, what a blast party!

Everyone in high spirits
But there was a rumor that worried people
The gossip, in hushed tones
Said that Michael Jackson was coming to steal the show
And that's when Marina heard a honk
And everyone went to the window in great excitement
A yellow Brasília turned the corner
Guess who it was?

Party of Brazilian music
