Rap da Cidade Alta

oÔbaaaaa! Hey!
La laiá laiá
Come to the High City!
La laiá laiá
You guys will love it
La laiá laiá! Laiá!
Oba, oba, oba, oba, Ô!
I'm from the High, it took a while
ÔoÔOoooo!
I shake with peace and love
ÔoÔOoooo oba, oba, oba, oba!

Try to understand, try from the heart
And there's no time for fights, wars or discussion
Life is short, my friend
Put your hand on your conscience
Dance and sway! yeah! Without violence
Why so much fighting? so much disunity...
If God has a lot to give, it's peace and unity
That's why I sing without fear of making mistakes
Come with Mc Pixote, the party will start!
Ôoooba, oba oba hey!
La laiá laiá
Come to the High City
La laiá laiá
You guys will love it
La laiá laiá! Laiá!
Oba, oba, oba, oba, Ô!

And speaking of violence
I'm trying to understand
Why in today's world
People only think 'I'll kill or die'
So friend, stop to think
Please let peace reign
And think about it, put it in your head
That life is short, my friend
Please don't forget
Ôoooba, oba oba hey!
La laiá laiá
Come to the High City
La laiá laiá
You guys will love it
La laiá laiá! Laiá!
Oba, oba, oba, oba

And now my friend, I even feel happy
I'm going to enjoy the funk ball
The way I always wanted
A ball without violence!
Love and friendship: this doesn't just stay in dreams,
it will be reality
Just let everyone do their part
I'm already doing mine, singing the truth
Put it in your head
Live in peace and believe
That for the ball not to end, it only depends on you
Ôoooba, oba oba hey!
La laiá laiá
Come to the High City
La laiá laiá
You guys will love it
La laiá laiá! Laiá!
Oba, oba, oba, oba, ÔÔÔooo!!!
