Poder da Criação

No, nobody makes samba just because they prefer it
No force in the world interferes
With the power of creation

No, you don't need to be happy or worried
Or take refuge in a prettier place
In search of inspiration

No, it's a light that comes suddenly
With the speed of a shooting star
That lights up the mind and heart

Yes, it makes you think
That there is a greater force that guides us
That is in the air
Right in the middle of the night or in the light of day
It can even distress us

And the poet lets himself be carried away by this magic
And a verse is coming, and a melody is coming
And the people start to sing, la laia laiá
La lá laía laiá
