Meu Laiá-Raiá

Lalaiá-raiá, raiá, raiá, raiá
Lalaiá-raiá, la-lalaiá-raiá

You are my people, you are my samba
You are the bossa and my voice
For you I bring a new samba
That I did in the pit to sing alone

And there were also kisses never given
Hugs saved for you to feel
But I really want to curl up in a bed
Squeeze your chest and then sleep

Squeeze your chest and then sleep
Squeeze your chest and then sleep

Sleeping dreaming about you in love
My much loved bride, my piece of woman
My story, my secret, my star, my faith
My school, my plot, my cigarette and my coffee

Lalaiá-raiá, raiá, raiá, raiá
You are my laiá-raiá, raiá

Lalaiá-raiá, raiá, raiá, raiá
You are my laiá-raiá, raiá

You are my people, you are my samba
You are the bossa and my voice
For you I bring a new samba
That I did in the pit to sing alone

And there were also kisses never given
Hugs saved for you to feel
But I really want to curl up in a bed
Squeeze your chest and then sleep

Squeeze your chest and then sleep
Squeeze your chest and then sleep

Lalaiá-raiá, raiá, raiá, raiá
You are my laiá-raiá, raiá

Lalaiá-raiá, raiá, raiá, raiá
You are my laiá-raiá, raiá

Lalaiá-raiá, raiá, raiá, raiá
You are my laiá-raiá, raiá
