Ela É Bamba

She's a Badass

So let's go!
Ana, Rita, Joana
Iracema, Carolina

She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!

She's a badass!
This black woman from the beach
Five little kids to raise
Works hard all day long
And still finds time to samba

When she hits the avenue
She's amazing
Everyone's watching
But she doesn't care
Makes her own beautiful costume
Hits all the moves

Mother, dancer, athlete
Manicurist, diplomat
Boutique owner
Nurse, acrobat

Hey hey heey!

She's a badass
This indigenous woman from downtown
Carries on her shoulder
A little basket with a baby
Eight kilos of laundry on the clothesline
Still sells coconut candy on the train

Every Friday
She gets happier
Goes dancing at a club in Jaú
Puts on a show
And thinks she's an actress
Every day she invents a new name

Dora, Isaura, Emília
Terezinha and Marina
Ana, Rita, Joana
Iracema and Carolina

She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!

Dora, Isaura, Emília
Terezinha and Marina
Ana, Rita, Joana
Iracema and Carolina
Laura, Lígia, Luma
Lucineide, Luciana
Want their names written
In a really cool font

She's a bullet
The mixed-race woman is full of energy
Each arm is a pillar of the country
Watch out for her, my boy
She's almost everything they say

When she gets into a fight
She's amazing
She's got the groove
And doesn't let it go wrong
She's pop, she's rap
She's blues and jazz
And in samba, she's top-notch

Let's go!
Laura, Ligia, Luma
Lucineide, Luciana
Want their names written
In a really cool font

She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
She's a badass!
