Ai Menina

Girl, what to do with your sway? Oh ah
Girl, what to do with that twirling skirt? Oh ah
If the drum starts, your skirt spins
The whole world stops to watch you, girl

Tell me what to do with your sway? Oh ah
Girl, what to do with that twirling skirt? Oh ah
It's in the palm, it's in the leather, this wheel spins
What should I do to have you, girl?

Oh girl, come, to the circle, come!
Oh, girl, here we have carimbó
Everyone sways to your dance
Curimbó follows the sway of your spinning
