Batucada is free
It's the voodoo in me
And the rhythm you hear
Will make you dance

Batucada is strong
And it won't take you long
Till you're lost in the song
And in the dance

Tonight I gonna sing and dance
Be wild, be free
And light a candle
For the goddess of the sea

Batucada is on
Batucada come on
Watch the dance and the dawn
Fall in the sea

A Batucada vem surgindo
Vem ficou
Com vento
