Fio Maravilha

Your palace was three pieces of metal
Two wooden boards
A slum paradise
Who is called Favela
On the cans we can also
Make music
And remake America

Fio Maravilha, your father was the sun
Fio Maravilha, music and you are the same
Fio Maravilha, your mother was poor
Fio Maravilha, and your mother is the earth

Of heaven and earth
It's the conspiracy
Your father made a country
Who is the child of songs
Of your hair
We made three guitar strings
With slightly strange harmonies

Fio Maravilha, your father was the sun
Fio Maravilha, music and you are the same
Fio Maravilha, your mother was poor
Fio Maravilha, and your mother is the earth

Your skin is also dark
The air of the marinas
Because everywhere the sun
Approached you
Of course you don't learn anything at school
Because your school is the school of sambas

Fio Maravilha, your father was the sun
Fio Maravilha, music and you are the same
Fio Maravilha, your mother was black
Fio Maravilha, and your mother is the earth
Fio Maravilha, music and you are the same
