Minha Preta

Laiala, laiala, laiala

My black woman, I walk in silence
Suffering like a samba song
And the pains I carry in my chest
Get lost in chords on my guitar

Give me back peace, give me some affection
Your man is the one who wants
To rebuild in my arms a love in pieces
In any corner

Learn to live, my dear
The world is good even so
Who knows how to live, black woman
Doesn't find life bad

Hug me and kiss me
Take me to another place
Make me feel
Float in your body
