Ai Menina

Girl, what to do with your sway (oh ah)
Girl, what to do with that twirling skirt? (oh ah)
When the drum starts, your skirt spins
The whole world stops to watch you, girl

Girl, what to do with your sway (oh ah)
Girl, what to do with that twirling skirt? (oh ah)
It's in the palm, it's in the leather, this wheel spins
What will I do to have you, girl?

Oh girl, come, join the circle, come!
Oh, girl, here we have carimbó (2x)
Everyone sways to your dance
Curimbó follows the sway of your spinning
