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
