Full lyrics
O balanço vem, o balanço vai
Quando é bamba
Quem é de samba não cai
(coro repete)
O balanço vem,
Ginga morena que eu quero ver
O balanço vai,
No frevo, no samba, no cateretê
O balanço vai,
A vida do samba, morena, é você
Translation
The sway comes, the sway goes
When one is a master
Those who are of samba do not fall
The sway comes, the sway goes
When one is a master
Those who are of samba do not fall
The sway comes,
Sway, morena, I want to see you
The sway goes,
In frevo, in samba, in cateretê
The sway goes,
The life of samba, morena, is you
