Full lyrics

Da primeira vez que te ví

Natureza a me sorrir

Algo jaz em mim

Se é jasmim ou se é mar


Quando fui ver me perdi

Neste toque a embalar

Foi como seu visse o nega Ô dançar


Nega Ô, fez do meu coração seu tambor

logo eu que não sei conviver com a dor


Iáiá, eu vou rezar e aí quem sabe um dia

Você me alforria


E para de me adivinhar

E me olha só pra me enxergar

E até me tira pra dançar, iaiá

Translation

The first time I saw you

Nature smiled at me

Something lies dormant within me

Whether it's jasmine or the sea


When I went to see, I got lost

In this touch that cradles

It was as if I saw Nega Ô dancing


Nega Ô, made my heart her drum

Me, who doesn't know how to live with pain


Iáiá, I will pray and who knows, one day

You will set me free


And stop second-guessing me

And just look at me to see me

And even take me out to dance, iaiá
