Passando na berra do mar - Ouvi um grupo cantar
Corri porque tinha que olhar - Que tava acontecendo
Uma coisa interesante – uma coisa bonita
A gente vuando, cantando, e celebrando

Passing by the ocean I hear a group singing
I ran because I had to see, what was going on
An interesting thing, a beautiful thing
