Balança Pema [English translation]

Swing that fishtail

Shake it without stopping

Drag your sandals

Drag them until you wear them out

When you swing in samba

My heart also swings in samba

It swings in the right way

Following your moves

Shake that fishtail!

Shake it without stopping

Drag your sandals

Drag them until you wear them out

If you promise

You'll teach me how to dance to swing as you do

I will gift you with a silver sandal

For you to swing only for me

Swing that fishtail

Shake it without stopping

Drag your sandals

Drag them until you wear them out
