Translation of the song Maraçá artist Marisa Monte

No meu filme

In my movie

Pinta baticum na mesa

There's some knocking on the table

Alegria com cerveja

Happy people drinking beer

Entidades e nações

Entities and nations

Mudo e surdo

A mute and a deaf man

Encapadas em capetas

Covered as devils

Língua que lambe ninfetas

The tongue that licks the nymphs

Lata maraçá e fome

A maraçá can and hunger

Gangazunga lobisomem

Ganga Zumba, a werewolf

Samirá que vira homem

Samirá that turns into a man

Rum pi lé rum

Rum pi lé rum

É vendaval, é ilusão

It's a tornado, it's an illusion

E eu e você no carnaval

You and I during carnival

No carnaval

During carnival

E a glória de nada

And nothing has any glory

Me valeria

My Atlantis, Bahia

Minha atlântida Bahia

Would be worth to me

Ilha de reuniões

An island of meetings

E agora já que tenho

And now that I already have

Companhia

A company

Talvez veja outro filme

Maybe I'll watch another movie

Lâmina mulher Maria

Razors, woman, Maria

Uma voz

A voice

Que guia guia

That guides, guides

Bimotor que silencia

A twin-engined plane that silences

Rum pi lé rum

Rum pi lé rum

Ý vendaval, é ilusão

It's a tornado, it's an illusion

Ý eu e você no carnaval

You and I during carnival

No carnaval

During carnival

Do you believe me

Do you believe me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me
