A Toada
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ê, laê, laê, laê boi
Ah, o meu boi vem chegando na arena
Ah, quero ver as bandeiras vermelhas no ar
Pro meu boi balançar, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ê, laê, laê, laê boi
Boi, boi, boi garantido
Ouço o grito da imensa galera
Boi, boi, boi
Que te chama e te espera na luz do luar
És garantido clamor desse povo
Boi, boi, boi
Que explode no peito a emoção do cantar
És a força do sangue da gente
Que brinca e baila com seu boi bumbá
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ê, laê, laê, laê boi
The Ballad
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, lai, lai, lai ox
Ah, my ox is coming into the arena
Ah, I want to see the red flags in the air
For my ox to sway, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Hey, lai, lai, lai ox
Ox, ox, guaranteed ox
I hear the shout of the immense crowd
Ox, ox, ox
That calls and waits for you in the moonlight
You are the guaranteed clamor of these people
Ox, ox, ox
That explodes in the chest the emotion of singing
You are the strength of our blood
That plays and dances with your ox bumba
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Hey, lai, lai, lai ox
