Na Batucada Da Vida

Elis Regina Elis Regina

In the Batucada of Life

On the day I appeared in the world
A bunch of orgy bums gathered
At night there was samba and drumming
That ended in the early morning in a big fight

After my baptism of smoke
I drank a liter and a half of cachaça - very strong
And I went to sleep like an offering
Lying on the mat at the door of the rejected

I grew up looking at life innocently
When a police officer's baton awakened my heart
And as I was very good to him
He let me go on the street, worthless like a dog

And now that I'm really turned around
I'll take on any challenge
That I was forgotten by God
I will increasingly be ragged
I will always continue singing in the batucada of life
