Eu Acredito
Eu Acredito
Na poesia do meu povo brasileiro
Eu acredito
Na folia do meu povo mandingueiro
Eu Acredito
Na levada da zabumba
No rebolar da morena
E no swing do pandeiro
Eu acredito
Na loucura dos meninos
No samba da minha terra
E no forró lá de Monteiro
Eu acredito
No martelo alagoano
No frevo pernambucano
Na rede que balança
Na sombra da Umburana
Ao som do Maracatu
E no amor de Bastiana
Eu acredito sinhá
Eu acredito sinhá
Eu acredito sinhá
Eu acredito sinhá
I Believe
I believe
In the poetry of my Brazilian people
I believe
In the revelry of my spirited folks
I believe
In the beat of the drum
In the sway of the girl
And in the rhythm of the tambourine
I believe
In the wildness of the kids
In the samba from my land
And in the forró from Monteiro
I believe
In the Alagoan hammer
In the Pernambuco frevo
In the hammock that sways
In the shade of the Umburana
To the sound of Maracatu
And in the love of Bastiana
I believe, ma'am
I believe, ma'am
I believe, ma'am
I believe, ma'am
