Pá-nela

Hey woman
Bring the pot
So I can hit the bottom of it
With the handle of the spoon
Because if there's no beans
Let's have a dance
Right?

I've lived a long time
And I'll live much more
I've seen things in this life
That would make you fall back
The one who commands does everything
The one who orders undoes
The one who commands has nothing
The one who orders has too much
What's up?!

Hey woman
Bring the pot
So I can hit the bottom of it
With the handle of the spoon
Because if there's no beans
Let's have a dance

Those who are afraid stay at home
Those who are not should go live
Fall in the middle of the street
To love or to suffer
But knowing that in life
The most certain thing is just to die
And those who never had anything
Have nothing to lose
Right?

Hey woman
Bring the pot
So I can hit the bottom of it
With the handle of the spoon
Because if there's no beans
Let's have a dance

I want a party in the yard
Lots of fun, excitement
Joy, dance, samba, afoxé, xote and baião
I want to see smiles and fire
Like on Saint John's night
And may this Brazilian people
Never lose their heart
That's it!

Hey woman
Bring the pot
So I can hit the bottom of it
With the handle of the spoon
Because if there's no beans
Let's have a dance
Right?
