Vai Dar Caô Lyrics English Translation by Anitta
I stepped out at night, the street called my name
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not looking for love
Honey and cachaça, palm oil and a flower bath (The número uno)
The light of the full moon announced it (Papatinho)
Body protected, red dress on
My street-smart crew by my side
Who protects me never sleeps
If you try me, you’ll get stuck
Bro, I don’t step down from these heels (Aham)
With the street people, I never lose the rhythm (Yuh)
But if you want trouble, you’ll get trouble
Ah, ah, ah, make way for me to pass
You don’t get into the party without a pass to arrive
Ah, ah, ah, make way for me to pass
Do right by right, and you’ll lack for nothing
Sing to come down, and the people thank you
Sing to rise up and say a prayer
Sing to come down, but just don’t forget (Don’t forget now)
If you want trouble, you’ll get trouble
A re–, a-a re–
A re–, a-a re–
A re–, a-a re–
A re–, a-a re–
A re–, a re–
A re–, a-a re–
A re–, a-a re–
A re–, a-a re–
A re–, a-a re–
By request of the DJ
Thanks to plans that aren’t mine
Today I built my own plans
Thanks to me and who’s with me, we keep on winning
Even with eyes open and awake, I’m still dreaming
Even favela-born and rough around the edges, my life is sweet (By request of the DJ)
I am the new movement
They say I am a monument
But what remains is the feeling of looking
And saying this is my moment, so
I’m gonna do it again, slower
Jumping rope with the timeline
I know spells that cause torment
Be careful who you’re messing with
Ah, ah, ah, make way for me to pass
You don’t get into the party without a pass to arrive
Ah, ah, ah, make way for me to pass
Do right by right, and you’ll lack for nothing
Sing to come down, and the people thank you
Sing to rise up and say a prayer
Sing to come down, but just don’t forget
If you want trouble, you’ll get trouble
