Canta Canta, Minha Gente

Sing sing, my people
Leave the sadness behind
Sing strong, sing loud
That life will get better

That life will get better
That life will get better
That life will get better
That life will get better

Sing the samba de roda
The samba-canção and the ripped samba
Sing the samba de breque
Modern samba and square samba

Sing ciranda, the frevo
Coconut, maxixe, baião and xaxado
But don't sing this pretty girl
Because she has her husband by her side

Sing sing, my people
Leave the sadness behind
Sing strong, sing loud
That life will get better (sing again!)

Sing sing, my people
Leave the sadness behind
Sing strong, sing loud
That life will get better

That life will get better
That life will get better
But life will get better
That life will get better

Who sings scares away his woes
Up on the hill or samba on the asphalt
I sing the samba-enredo
A slow samba and a loud party

I haven't heard for a long time
The syncopated samba
You just can't sing
It's watching the sun rise square

Sing sing, my people
Leave the sadness behind
Sing strong, sing loud
That life will get better

Sing sing, my people
Leave the sadness behind
Sing strong, sing loud
That life will get better

That life will get better
That life will get better
But I said it will get better
That life will get better

Now, if it gets better
That life will get better
But will it get better?
That life will get better

I'm going to go now
That life will get better
That life will get better
Hey, what's the matter?
