Batucada (The Beat)(original) |
| Batucada surgiu |
| Nem um branco ficou |
| Pois ser branco é ter cor |
| E pouco amor |
| Canta amor que é mais branco |
| Que o sorriso do negro |
| Que nasceu só sem cor |
| Cheio de amor |
| E vai vivendo, vendo a vida terminar |
| Chorando tanto por quem nunca pôde amar |
| Mas a vida se vai e é preciso sambar |
| Fazer samba é viver e não morrer |
| A batucada surgiu |
| Nem um branco ficou |
| A batucada surgiu |
| Nem um branco ficou |
| (translation) |
| Batucada emerged |
| Not a white person was left |
| Because to be white is to have color |
| And little love |
| Sing love that is whiter |
| That the black smile |
| Who was born only without color |
| Full of love |
| And lives, seeing life end |
| Crying so much for those who could never love |
| But life goes and you have to samba |
| Making samba is living and not dying |
| The drumming emerged |
| Not a white person was left |
| The drumming emerged |
| Not a white person was left |
