Mandinga Lyrics English Translation by Anitta
Vai, vai, vai, vai, vai (I won’t go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai, vai (I won’t go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai, vai
You can keep me wound up ’cause you like me
I know deep down you’re wanting trouble
You can stop the show, you’ve already seen me in my ***
Every goodbye, we stop halfway through
My body’s soaking wet, I’m like an ocean
I know you’re going crazy to devour me
In the middle of the street, with everyone watching
Even those on the outside wanna get in
Oh, I miss how your tongue knows my mouth
Oh, I miss it, maybe I’ll come back to give you all of me (Vai, vai)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (Give you)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (Love)
Vai, vai, vai, vai
‘Cause I don’t fall for anyone’s tricks, my mama taught me to be on guard
I won’t live under anyone’s wing, or make myself small to please you
I don’t fall for anyone’s tricks, my mama taught me to be on guard
I won’t live under anyone’s wing, or make myself small to please you
And from loving too much I’ve suffered, don’t say you didn’t see me cry
But if there’s one thing that keeps me going, it’s knowing always when to come back
I don’t carry anyone’s punishment, and I won’t let you block my path
Because all the lines that I have drawn keep you from reaching me
The night I left you, a thousand flowers bloomed in your place
I tried to love you without reason, but someone told me to be on guard
Vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai
Let me dance, walk along the edge, let me be, I know where I’m going
I’ll only stop where the sea waits for me, the Canto de Ossanha won’t get me
Let me dance, walk along the edge, let me be, I know where I’m going
I’ll only stop where the sea waits for me, the Canto de Ossanha won’t get me
I don’t fall for anyone’s tricks, my mama taught me to be on guard
I won’t live under anyone’s wing, or make myself small to please you
I don’t fall for anyone’s tricks, my mama taught me to be on guard
I won’t live under anyone’s wing, or make myself small to please you
Vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (Give you)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (Love)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (Iê)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (I will go)
Vai, vai, vai, vai (Iê)
