Beleza Pura

You don’t tie me down
Money doesn’t
But beauty
Money doesn’t
Dark skin
Money doesn’t
Strong body
Money doesn’t

Black girl
From Curuzu
Pure beauty
Federation
Pure beauty
Mouth of the river
Pure beauty
Money doesn’t

When this girl
Starts to style
Her hair
It’s a sight to see
Every twist of the braid
Moves with her hair
Seashells from the ocean
She has them brought
To put in her hair
Every detail
Every delight

You don’t tie me down
Money doesn’t
But elegance
You don’t tie me down
Money doesn’t
But culture
Money doesn’t
Dark skin
Money doesn’t
Strong body
Money doesn’t

Beautiful girl
From Badauê
Pure beauty
From Ilê-Aiê

Money, yeah
Pure beauty
Money doesn’t

Inside that turban
Of Gandhi’s son
That’s what’s up
Everything’s so chic
Everything’s so elegant
She has them put
Fine straw from the coast
And let it all intertwine
All the shells
All the leisure
All the shells
All the leisure
Yeah

You don’t tie me down
Money doesn’t
But the mysteries
You don’t tie me down
Money doesn’t
But beauty
Dark skin
Strong body
Money doesn’t
