Balancê

As I saw you dance in Zimbabwe
I also want to sway with you
A new dance, a mix of semba with samba
Of mambo with rumba, your hand in mine and mine in yours

Balancê, yeah, sway, yeah
Swing over there, swing over here, yeah
Balancê, yeah, sway, yeah
Maria José, swing in the foot
Otherwise, step aside, yeah

We are free to celebrate
We are free to liberate ourselves
Like children playing, children smiling
Children being children, ah
Like children playing, children smiling, children

Balancê, yeah, sway, yeah
Swing over there, swing over here, yeah
Balancê, yeah, sway, yeah
Maria José, swing in the foot
Otherwise, step aside, yeah

I love it when you let yourself go like this
You close your eyes and dance just for me
Your dance, a mix of: Don't come if you don't want to
With a smile, however, that tells me your disdain
Is just someone's morning saying they'll go, but they'll come
Deceive me because I like it

Balancê, yeah, sway, yeah
Swing over there, swing over here, yeah
Balancê, yeah, sway, yeah
Maria José, swing in the foot
Otherwise, step aside, yeah

Balancê, yeah, sway, yeah
Swing over there, swing over here, yeah
Balancê, yeah, sway, yeah
Maria José, swing in the foot
Otherwise, step aside, yeah
