I'm from Arerê

Sou de Arerê

She stepped into the lively samba circleChegou na roda de samba assanhada
Swearing she'd throw downJurando meter a porrada
On anyone who looked my wayEm quem olhasse pra mim
And I, knowing the fierce womanE eu sabendo da nega arretada
Calmed the ladies downAmenizei a mulherada
So the samba wouldn’t endPro samba não chegar ao fim

It sounds unbelievable, buddyParece mentira compadre
When told, no one believes itContado ninguém acredita
When the woman gets feistyQuando a nega se arranha
Her nose goes up in the airO nariz arrebita

She sticks her butt out to the sideEmpina a bunda pro lado
Moves her hands on her hipsMexe de mãos nos quadris
Spins the whole dancer aroundRoda a baiana inteirinha
Shakes her shoulders and saysSacode os ombros e diz

(I am!)(Eu sou!)
I'm from ArerêSou de arerê
I’m here to break it downBoto pra quebrar
No man, not a single bitchHomem meu nenhuma piranha
Is gonna disrespect meVai se debochar
