Full lyrics

Maria sente quando tô contente

Eu arreganho os dentes

Como quem vai gargalhar

Maria sente quando tô contente

Eu arreganho os dentes

Como quem vai gargalhar


E falo alto, e danço, e viro bailarino

E não me perco do menino

Que eles teimam me roubar

Pois eles temem nosso sonho vagabundo

A força do submundo

E do poder popular


Maria sente quando tô contente

Maria sente

Sente quando tô contente

Maria sente quando tô contente

Maria sente

Sente quando tô contente


E viva o morro, a voz do povo, a rebeldia

John Lennon, Melodia, Charles Chaplin, Calabar

O Tiradentes, Frei Caneca, Virgulino

Com meu sonho de menino

Que eles teimam me roubar


E viva o morro, a voz do povo, a rebeldia

John Lennon, Melodia, Charles Chaplin, Calabar

O Tiradentes, Frei Caneca, Virgulino

Com meu sonho de menino

Que eles teimam me roubar


Maria sente quando tô contente

Maria sente

Sente quando tô contente

Maria sente quando tô contente

Maria sente

Sente quando tô contente


Maria sente quando tô contente

Eu arreganho os dentes

Como quem vai gargalhar

Maria sente quando tô contente

Eu arreganho os dentes

Como quem vai gargalhar


E falo alto, e danço, e viro bailarino

E não me perco do menino

Que eles teimam me roubar

Pois eles temem nosso sonho vagabundo

A força do submundo

E do poder popular


Maria sente quando tô contente

Maria sente

Sente quando tô contente

Maria sente quando tô contente

Maria sente

Sente quando tô contente


E viva o morro, a voz do povo, a rebeldia

John Lennon, Melodia, Charles Chaplin, Calabar

O Tiradentes, Frei Caneca, Virgulino

Com meu sonho de menino

Que eles teimam me roubar


E viva o povo, a voz do morro, a rebeldia

John Lennon, Melodia, Charles Chaplin, Calabar

O Tiradentes, Frei Caneca, Virgulino

Com meu sonho de menino

Que eles teimam me roubar


Maria sente quando tô contente

Maria sente

Sente quando tô contente

Maria sente quando tô contente

Maria sente

Sente quando tô contente

Translation

Maria feels when I'm happy

I grin

Like someone about to laugh

Maria feels when I'm happy

I grin

Like someone about to laugh


And I speak loudly, and dance, and become a dancer

And I don't lose myself from the boy

That they insist on stealing from me

Because they fear our vagabond dream

The strength of the underworld

And of the popular power


Maria feels when I'm happy

Maria feels

Feels when I'm happy

Maria feels when I'm happy

Maria feels

Feels when I'm happy


And long live the favela, the voice of the people, the rebellion

John Lennon, Melodia, Charles Chaplin, Calabar

Tiradentes, Frei Caneca, Virgulino

With my boy's dream

That they insist on stealing from me


And long live the favela, the voice of the people, the rebellion

John Lennon, Melodia, Charles Chaplin, Calabar

Tiradentes, Frei Caneca, Virgulino

With my boy's dream

That they insist on stealing from me


Maria feels when I'm happy

Maria feels

Feels when I'm happy

Maria feels when I'm happy

Maria feels

Feels when I'm happy


Maria feels when I'm happy

I grin

Like someone about to laugh

Maria feels when I'm happy

I grin

Like someone about to laugh


And I speak loudly, and dance, and become a dancer

And I don't lose myself from the boy

That they insist on stealing from me

Because they fear our vagabond dream

The strength of the underworld

And of the popular power


Maria feels when I'm happy

Maria feels

Feels when I'm happy

Maria feels when I'm happy

Maria feels

Feels when I'm happy


And long live the favela, the voice of the people, the rebellion

John Lennon, Melodia, Charles Chaplin, Calabar
