Lady Neyde
Lady Neyde
Pivete dengosa
Cuddly little rascal
Candeia de azeite
Oil lantern
Escurinha gostosa
Deliciously dark
Lady Neyde (Lady Neyde)
Lady Neyde (Lady Neyde)
Pivete dengosa
Cuddly little rascal
Candeia de azeite
Oil lantern
Escurinha gostosa
Deliciously dark
Pandeiro de pele de gata
Cat-skin tambourine
É chinfra de malê, iaô (iaô)
It's a Malê rhythm, iaô (iaô)
Persona muitíssimo grata
A very grateful persona
Convido-te para um melô
I invite you for a little tune
Chispa da Rua do Fogo
Spark from the Street of Fire
E vai me ver no meu barracão
And you'll see me in my little shack
Lá na ladeira do Caminho Novo
There on the slope of the New Path
Bate o tambor do meu coração
The drum of my heart beats
Lady Neyde
Lady Neyde
Pivete dengosa
Spoiled little kid
Candeia de azeite
Oil lamp
Escurinha gostosa
Delicious darkness
Lady Neyde (Lady Neyde)
Lady Neyde (Lady Neyde)
Pivete dengosa
Playful little one
Candeia de azeite
Lamp of olive oil
Escurinha gostosa
Tasty deep darkness
Pandeiro de pele de gata
Tambourine of a cat's skin
É chinfra de malê, iaô (iaô)
It's a blast from Malê, iaô (iaô)
Persona muitíssimo grata
A most grateful persona
Convido-te para um melô
I invite you to a melody
Chispa da Rua do Fogo
Spark from the Street of Fire
E vai me ver no meu barracão
And you’ll see me in my shack
Lá na ladeira do Caminho Novo
There on the slope of the New Path
Bate o tambor do meu coração
The drum of my heart beats
Lady Neyde
Lady Neyde
Pivete dengosa
Cute little kid
Candeia de azeite
Olive oil lamp
Escurinha gostosa
Delicious dark one
Lady Neyde (Lady Neyde)
Lady Neyde (Lady Neyde)
Pivete dengosa
Cute little kid
Candeia de azeite
Olive oil lamp
Escurinha gostosa
Delicious dark one
Ah, Lady Neyde
Ah, Lady Neyde
