Moleque Atrevido

Who said I'm not a bold kid?
I gained my fame as a bamba in the samba circle
I'm happy to know what I did for music, please
Respect those who can reach where we've reached

We are also at the forefront of all this history
We are from the time of samba without money, without glory
Talent is not up for discussion, but your argument, please
Respect those who can reach where we've reached

And we've reached very well
Without belittling anyone
Facing in the chest a certain prejudice and much disdain
Nowadays it's easy to say
That this music is our root
There are plenty of people talking about samba and not knowing what they're saying

So watch where you step, respect the shirt we sweated for
Respect those who can reach where we've reached
And when you step into the yard, first try to know who I am
Respect those who can reach where we've reached
Respect those who can reach where we've reached
Respect those who can reach where we've reached

Who said I'm not a bold kid?
I gained my fame as a bamba in the samba circle
I'm happy to know what I did for music, please
Respect those who can reach where we've reached

We are also at the forefront of all this history
We are from the time of samba without money, without glory
Talent is not up for discussion, but your argument, please
Respect those who can reach where we've reached
