Stage

I climb this stage, my soul smells like talcum powder
Like a baby's bottom, a baby's bottom...
My clear aura only those who are clairvoyant can see
Can see...
I bring my band only those who know where Luanda is
Will know how to value it, value it...
It's worth as much as it weighs for those who value the crazy drum beat
The drum beat...

Eternal fire to scare away
Hell to another place
Eternal fire to consume
Hell out of here

Lalaiá lalaiá lalaiá out of here!!
Lalaiá lalaiá lalaiá out of here!!
Lalaiá lalaiá lalaiá out of here!!

I come to the party, I know many have on their forehead
The sun god as a sign, a sign
I, as a devotee, bring a basket of backyard joys
From the backyard...

There is also a jug, who commands the goddess music
Asking to let go, to let go...
To pour the balm, make the jug sing...

Lala iá...

Eternal fire to scare away
Hell to another place
Eternal fire to consume
Hell out of here
Lalaiá lalaiá... out of here
Lalaiá lalaiá... out of here
Lalaiá lalaiá... out of here

Popópapaia popopapá ia iá popó pópa...
Popópapaia popópapa ia iá popó pópa...

I climb this stage my soul smells like talcum powder
Like a baby's bottom, like a baby's bottom
I bring my band only those who know where Luanda is
Will know how to value it...
Popó papaia popópapaia iaiá...
