Lyrics

Quando acordei tava aqui
Entre São Paulo e o mangue
Brasil via MTV
Num clip de bang bang
Nem bem cheguei me feri
Foi bala na cidade grande
Compondo sobrevivi
Cantar estancou o meu sangue
Nasci moleque saci
Daí que eu nunca me entreguei
Mando um recado pra ti
Certeza que noite chegue
Assim que te conheci
Ardi no fogo da febre
Deus sabe o quanto sofrei
O resto o cão que carregue
Um belo dia parti
Cumbica Deutschland
Na volta num duty free
Comprei um bom bumerangue
Sou pretobrás e daí
Eu rezo cantando reggae
Sou Cruz e Sousa Zumbi Paulo Leminski
Mas samba is another bag

Lyrics translation

When I woke up I was here
Between São Paulo and the mangrove
Brazil via MTV
A clip of bang bang
I didn't even get there. I hurt myself.
It was bullet in the big city
Composing I survived
Singing stalled my blood
Born Molek sacks
Hence I never gave myself up
I'll send you a message.
Sure night comes
As soon as I met you
I burned in the fire of fever
God knows how much I've suffered
The rest the dog that carries
A beautiful day left
Cumbica Deutschland
On the back in a duty free
I bought a good boomerang
I'm blackbras and hence
I pray singing reggae
I am Cruz and Sousa Zumbi Paulo Leminski
But samba is another bag
