Nem Ouro, Nem Prata

I saw it rain, I saw the lightning
But still, the sky was blue
Samborê, pemba, jurema leaves
Oxóssi reigns from north to south

I saw it rain, I saw the lightning
But still, the sky was blue
Samborê, pemba, jurema leaves
Oxóssi reigns from north to south

I'm a proud Brazilian, mixed, mulatto
There’s no gold, no silver, just the samba that bleeds from my heart
Your girl of color, a piece of sweet affection
I stepped into your rhythm, I’m no trickster like that Conceição

Enough of glorifying this thing called longing
My brown caboclo, mulatto charm of our Brazil
Look, my handsome black man, I want you, I promise, I like you
Forever from the samba ballad to the first whistle of the year 2000

Look, my handsome black man, I want you, I promise, I like you
