There Laiá, Laiá Laiá, Laiá Laiá Laiá!
Laiá, Laiá, Laiá, Laiá Laiá!
Hey! Laiá, Laiá, Laiá Laiá Laiá!
Laiá Laiá Laiá, Laiá Laiá!

Trickster!
I've been wanting
to talk to you
You know
That Zeca died
Because of fights
He had with the law...

Trickster!
I know that you
Don't even care
About being a capoeira
Mulatto boy
Lost in the world
Dying of love...

Trickster!
It's me who speaks to you
On behalf of her
Who on the catwalk
Is the flag bearer
And there in the favela
Has a name of a flower...

Trickster!
I only ask you
To be careful
Things are not going
So well on your side
That way you kill
Rosinha with sorrow...

There Laiá, Laiá Laiá, Laiá Laiá Laiá!
Laiá, Laiá, Laiá, Laiá Laiá!
Laiá, Laiá, Laiá Laiá Laiá!
Laiá Laiá Laiá, Laiá Laiá!
