É Com Esse Que Eu Vou
Elis Regina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

É com esse que eu vou sambar até cair no chão
É com esse que eu vou desabafar na multidão
Se ninguém se animar
Eu vou quebrar meu tamborim
Mas se a turma gostar vai ser pra mim
Quero ver no ronca-ronca da cuíca
Gente pobre, gente rica, deputado e senador
Oi quebra, quebra que eu quero ver
Uma cabrocha boa
No piano da patroa batucando
É com esse que eu vou
Mas quebra, quebra que eu quero ver
Uma cabrocha boa, no piano da patroa... batucando
É com esse que eu vou

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Elis Regina's "É com esse que eu vou" speak to the joy and freedom found in samba music, and the desire to let loose and express oneself through dance and rhythm. The singer declares that she will samba until she falls to the ground, and that she will use the crowd around her as a place to vent her emotions. If no one else is dancing, she will break her tambourine to get them moving, but if they do join in the fun, it will all be worth it.


The song paints a picture of a lively, diverse gathering of people, from poor to rich, and even including politicians. The singer invites everyone to join in the music, chanting "break it, break it" as she encourages the crowd to let go and get lost in the rhythm. The final lines repeat the song's central message: that the singer will samba with this particular group of people because they know how to have a good time, and that she wants to see a "good-looking" girl playing the piano while they all dance.
