Negritude Junior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eu quero tic, tic, tic, tic ta
Bate forte o tambor
Eu quero tic, tic, tic, tic ta
É nessa dança que meu boi balança
E o povão de fora vem pra ca brincar
É nessa dança que meu boi balança
E o povão de fora vem pra ca brincar
As barrancas de terras caídas
Faz barrento o nosso rio-mar
As barrancas de terras caídas
Faz barrento o nosso rio-mar
Amazonas, rio da minha vida
Imagem tão linda que meu Deus criou
Fez o céu, a mata e a terra
Uniu os caboclos construiu o amor
Fez o céu, a mata e a terra
Uniu os caboclos
Construiu o amor
Brinca meu povo
