Rock'n'Raul

When I passed through here
My struggle was to show
A damn strong desire
To be American

(And today look at the guys)
To stay only in Arkansas
Revelry in California
Bad days in New Orleans
The great wizard in Chicago

To have an ether ranch in Texas
A marijuana plantation in Wyoming
No axé, Dodô and Curuzu
The true Bahia is Rio Grande do Sul

Rock'n'me
Rock'n'you
Rock'n'roll
Rock'n'Raul

Today any nobody
Any Caetano
Can say
That in Bahia
My Krig-Ha Bandolo
Is pure fool's gold

(And the wolf cake)

But my joy
My irony
Is much greater than this crap

To have an ether ranch in Texas
A marijuana plantation in Wyoming
No axé, Dodô and Curuzu
The true Bahia is Rio Grande do Sul

Rock'n'me
Rock'n'you
Rock'n'roll
Rock'n'Raul
