Lyrics of Irene Cara Mia - Jorge Ben

Irene Cara Mia (original)

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Irene
Irene cara, cara mia
Flash dance ouvi você cantar
Maravilhado eu fiquei e não resisti
E no cinema eu dancei, dancei
Dancei, dancei, dancei, dancei, dancei, dancei
Chegando em casa com a música na cabeça
Bati cabeça a madrugada inteira
E quando acordei fiz uma canção para você
Dançar também
Ai, ai, ai, ai, ai, ai
Uma canção que fala de amor e de alegria
Das coisas simples e belas da vida
Das coisas que podem correr por aí
Alegrando as pessoas
E fazendo um bem espiritual
Minha música suburbana urbana
Com raízes africana oriental
Com ligeiro toque universal
É para você, esse som de Penkelê, Penkelê, Penkelê
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Irene
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Irene
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Irene
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Penkelê
Afoxé quero ver penquelequiá

(translation)

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Irene
Irene dear, dear mia
Flash dance I heard you sing
I was amazed and couldn't resist
And in the cinema I danced, I danced
I danced, I danced, I danced, I danced, I danced, I danced
Coming home with the music in my head
I hit my head early in the morning
And when I woke up I made a song for you
dance too
Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch
A song that talks about love and joy
Of the simple and beautiful things in life
Of the things that can run around
cheering people up
And doing a spiritual good
My urban suburban music
With East African roots
With a slight universal touch
It's for you, this sound of Penkelê, Penkelê, Penkelê
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Irene
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Irene
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Irene
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, Penkelê
Afoxé I want to see penquelequiá
