É Corpo, É Alma, É Religião
Maria Rita
It's Body, It's Soul, It's Religion
I wasn't born in samba
But samba was born in me
When I stepped into the yard
I heard the sound of the pandeiro
I fell in love with the tamborim
Night with a full moon
My heart ignites
Beats stronger in the rhythm
People shake the pagode
Clapping their hands
It's body, it's soul, it's religion
I wasn't born in samba
But samba was born in me
When I stepped into the yard
I heard the sound of the pandeiro
I fell in love with the tamborim
Night with a full moon
My heart ignites
Beats stronger in the rhythm
People shake the pagode
Clapping their hands
It's body, it's soul, it's religion
It doesn't matter if it's Vila Isabel
If it's Padre Miguel, Império or Formiga
It doesn't matter if it's Vila Matilde
Mocidade Alegre, Vai-Vai in Bexiga
This way I feel comfortable
This freedom makes me ecstatic
Wants to make me happy, makes me samba
