Tapa Pandeiro

Belief and faith
Sing out loud and say I am Brazilian
I'm from the beat of axé, from the tap on the pandeiro
Go for it, don't fall behind
Go for it, I am of peace

Radiate joy, a smile on the face, a fatal embrace
Chant poetry
The sway of the body to the sound of the timbau
The trio is the guide
And the people make art in the palm of their hands
And the procession continues

Tapa pandeiro
I'm Brazilian
My smile warns those who come from there
Tapa pandeiro
I'm Brazilian
The whole world surrenders to the charm here
