Que Bloco é Esse (part. Criolo)

Today the earth will tremble
Today the earth will tremble
The volcano of Bahia is the drum of Ilê Aiyê
The volcano of Bahia is the drum of Ilê Aiyê

The wave hits the rock
The rock can't hold the sea
What holds the sea is the moon
In the offering to Yemanjá

Freedom is a neighborhood
That the soul wants to visit
Wash your mouth, clean your feet
In the beating you will take

We are crazy Creole, we are very cool
We have tough hair, we are black power
We are crazy Creole, we are very cool
We have tough hair, we are black power

Which block is this? I want to know
It's the black world that we came to show you (to you)
Which block is this? I want to know
It's the black world that we came to show you (to you)

White, if you knew the value that black people have
You would bathe in tar to become black too
And I don't teach you my trickery
Nor my philosophy, right?
Who gives light to the blind is White Cane and Saint Lucy

Which block is this? I want to know
It's the black world that we came to show you (to you)
Which block is this? I want to know
It's the black world that we came to show you (to you)

We are crazy Creole, we are very cool
We have tough hair, we are black power
We are crazy Creole, we are very cool
We have tough hair, we are black power

I am the son of a black man
I am Brazilian
I am the son of a black man
I am Brazilian

White, if you knew the value that black people have
You would bathe in tar to become black too
And I don't teach you my trickery
Nor my philosophy, right?
Who gives light to the blind is White Cane and Saint Lucy

Which block is this? I want to know
It's the black world that we came to show you (to you)
Which block is this? I want to know

We are crazy Creole, we are very cool
We have tough hair, we are black power

We have tough hair, we are black power
