Soteropolitana

I threw the guitar in the car
And the bags in the back seat
Running from the crazy routine, I took off
To the northeast to find some peace

I stopped to watch the sunset
But I saw a different light
Two big eyes like a sunflower
Were looking at me, right in front

And I stayed right there
And I stayed right there
Thinking about what I could say for her to hear me

And she smiled at me
And she smiled at me
And I was staring, in love, enchanted by her hips

I’m gonna tell her that I came from there
That I came from Rio de Janeiro and I only know how to samba
But I made a little xote, to win you over, girl
Give me a kiss and come over here

I’m gonna tell her that I came from there
That I came from the land of Cartola and I only know how to samba
But I made a little reggae, to win you over, girl
Give me a kiss and come over here

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Teach me the rhythm of the sea
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Teach me the rhythm of the sea
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh
In Salvador, I’m gonna stay

And I stayed right there
And I stayed right there
Thinking about what I could say for her to hear me

And she smiled at me
And she smiled at me
And I was staring, in love, enchanted by her hips

I’m gonna tell her that I came from there
That I came from Rio de Janeiro and I only know how to samba
But I made a little xote, to win you over, girl
Give me a kiss and come over here

I’m gonna tell her that I came from there
That I came from the land of Cartola and I only know how to samba
But I made a little reggae, to win you over, girl
Give me a kiss and come over here

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Teach me the rhythm of the sea
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Teach me the rhythm of the sea
Ah, ah, ah, ah, oh, oh
In Salvador, I’m gonna stay

In Salvador, I’m gonna stay
In Salvador, I’m gonna stay
