Eu sou a filha da Chiquita Bacana
I am the daughter of Chiquita Bacana
Nunca entro em cana
I never land in jail
Porque sou família demais
Because I'm too much family
Puxei à mamãe
I take after mama
Não caio em armadilha
I don't fall into traps
E distribuo banana com os animais
And I share bananas with the animals
Eu sou a filha da Chiquita Bacana
I am the daughter of Chiquita Bacana
Nunca entro em cana
I never land in jail
Porque sou família demais
Because I'm too much family
Puxei à mamãe
I take after mama
Não caio em armadilha
I won't fall into a trap
E distribuo banana com os animais
And I hand out bananas with the animals
Na minha ilha
On my island
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Que maravilha
What a wonder
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Eu transo todas
I hook up with them all
Sem perder o tom
Without losing the tone
E a quadrilha toda grita:
And the whole squad shouts:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Viva a filha da Chiquita
Long live the daughter of Chiquita
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Entrei pra "women's liberation front"
I joined the women's liberation front
Eu sou a filha da Chiquita Bacana
I am the daughter of Chiquita Bacana
Nunca entro em cana

Porque sou família demais
Because I'm too much of a family person
Puxei à mamãe
I took after my mom
Não caio em armadilha
I don't fall for traps
E distribuo banana com os animais
And I distribute bananas with the animals
Eu sou a filha da Chiquita Bacana
I am the daughter of Chiquita Bacana
Nunca entro em cana
I never get caught up
Porque sou família demais
Because I’m too much of a family person

Não caio em armadilha
I don't fall for any traps
E distribuo banana com os animais
And I share bananas with the animals
Na minha ilha
On my island
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Que maravilha
