Soteropolitana

I threw the guitar in the car
And the suitcases in the back seat
Escaping the crazy routine, I left
To the northeast to find peace

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

And I stayed there, and I stayed there
Thinking about what I could say for her to hear me
And she smiled at me, and she smiled at me
And I, looking, in love, enchanted by her hips

I'm going to tell her that I came from there
That I came from Rio de Janeiro and that I only know how to samba
But I made a gentle xote, to conquer you, brunette
Give me a kiss and come here

I'm going to tell her that I came from there
That I came from the land of Cartola and that I only know how to samba
But I made a gentle reggae, to conquer you, brunette
Give me a kiss and come 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 will stay

And I stayed there, and I stayed there
Thinking about what I could say for her to hear me
And she smiled at me, and she smiled at me
And I, looking, in love, enchanted by her hips

I'm going to tell her that I came from there
That I came from Rio de Janeiro and that I only know how to samba
But I made a gentle xote, to conquer you, brunette
Give me a kiss and come here

I'm going to tell her that I came from there
That I came from the land of Cartola and that I only know how to samba
But I made a gentle reggae, to conquer you, brunette
Give me a kiss and come 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 will stay

In Salvador I will stay
In Salvador I will stay
