Sou de Arerê
Nelson Rufino
I'm from Arerê
She stepped into the lively samba circle
Swearing she'd throw down
On anyone who looked my way
And I, knowing the fierce woman
Calmed the ladies down
So the samba wouldn’t end
It sounds unbelievable, buddy
When told, no one believes it
When the woman gets feisty
Her nose goes up in the air
She sticks her butt out to the side
Moves her hands on her hips
Spins the whole dancer around
Shakes her shoulders and says
(I am!)
I'm from Arerê
I’m here to break it down
No man, not a single bitch
Is gonna disrespect me
