Maguinha do Sá Viana

The other day I was at a reggae spot down in Maranhão
I saw a little girl with beads in her hair right in the middle of the floor

Bass thumping, body in the groove
This little girl’s a hurricane, playing that old-school tune
Hey-yo, hey-yo

Who is she?
Rita, Ambrosina, Maria of Sorrows

Where's she from?
From São Paulo, New York, or the Azores

Little girl, you look like you're from Bahia
Dancing like a Jamaican
With a Caribbean waist
Little girl from Sá Viana

Bass thumping, body in the groove
This little girl’s a hurricane, playing that old-school tune
Hey-yo, hey-yo
