Eu sou você, você me dá
I am you, you give me
Muita confusão e paz
A lot of confusion and peace
Eu sou o sol, você o mar
I am the sun, you are the sea
Somos muitos carnavais
We are many carnivals
Nossos clarins sempre a soar
Our trumpets always sounding
Na noite, no dia, Bahia
In the night, in the day, Bahia
Vamos viver, vamos ver
Let's live, let's see
Vamos ter, vamos ser
Let's have, let's be
Vamos desentender do que não
Let's misunderstand what we don't
Carnavalizar a vida coração
Carnivalize life, heart
Vamos viver, vamos ver
Let's live, let's see
Vamos ter, vamos ser
Let's have, let's be
Vamos desentender do que não
Let's misunderstand what's not
Carnavalizar a vida coração
Carnivalize life, oh heart
Eu sou você, você me dá
I am you, you give me
Muita confusão e paz
A lot of confusion and peace
Eu sou o sol, você o mar
I am the sun, you are the sea
Somos muitos carnavais
We are many carnivals
Nossos clarins sempre a soar
Our clarions always sounding
Na noite, no dia, Bahia
In the night, in the day, Bahia
Vamos viver, vamos ver
Let's live, let's see
Vamos ter, vamos ser
Let's have, let's be
Vamos desentender do que não
Let's misunderstand what we shouldn't
Carnavalizar a vida coração
Carnivalize life, my heart
Vamos viver, vamos ver
Let's live, let's see
Vamos ter, vamos ser
Let's have, let's be
Vamos desentender do que não
Let's misunderstand what we shouldn't
Carnavalizar a vida coração
Carnivalize life, my heart
