A Batucada Te Pegou

There's no use in arriving, looking grumpy
I knew samba before dating you
If you love me, hold your ground
Participate, don't criticize and start singing

There's no use in arriving, looking grumpy
I knew samba before dating you
If you love me, hold your ground
Participate, don't criticize and start singing

That's how it is, that's how it should be
Stay firm in the pagoda until dawn
That's how it is, that's how it should be
From Monday to Monday, real samba

The batucada, the batucada got you my love
Living in the palm of the hand
Please sing with your heart, to cheer up
The samba can't stop

The batucada, the batucada got you my love
Living in the palm of the hand
Please sing with your heart, to cheer up
The samba can't stop
