Toma Lá, Dá Cá

Take It, Give It

Toma Lá, Dá Cá

You enter cashewTu entra cajá
And leave persimmonE sai caqui
Marriage todayCasamento hoje
That's itÉ isso aí
Take it, give itToma lá, dá cá
And in the rollE no rola-rola
Tangle what's thereEmbola o que há
Here and thereAí e aqui

Watermelon turns into pineappleMelancia vira abacaxi
But the children think of HawaiiMas os filhos pensam em Havaí
The tracer bulletA bala traçante
Involves the momentEnvolve o instante
We are natives of PatropiSomos naturais do Patropi

Between CopacabanaEntre Copacabana
And the dream of IpacaraíE o sonho de Ipacaraí
Living and dancingVivendo e dançando
Two steps forwardDois pra lá
And two steps backE dois pra cá

Door to doorPorta a porta
Love is worth itO amor vale entre si
False calmFalsa calma
And then a stormE aí um temporal
A low reliefUm relevo baixo
Portrays the disrespectRetrata o esculacho
Of loveDo amor
In the country of carnivalNo país do carnaval
