Swing da cor [English translation]

No

Do not leave me

Do not deject me

Because I can not

Be without you

No no no

Do not leave me

Do not deject me

Because I can not

Be without you

I can't be

Be without you

I can't be

Unable to see you

Come

To the color swing

To soothe the heat

And even maybe

Tie me up

Come

That your smile

Is small

In your kiss

There's poison

And it means to

Make me fall in love

I am Muzenza, hurrahoorey

Ticurupaco, kioyo

I am Muzenza, hurrahoorey

Ticurupaco, kioyo

I am Muzenza, hurrahoorey

I-yah, ooh-leh-leh-leh leh-leh i-yah

ooh-leh-leh-leh leh-leh i-yah

With Muzenza I'll go

Ah, ah, ah, ah

"larauê" is another neologism with no true meaning; the composer said in the same interview this was supposed to sound like "revelry, party, merrymaking". Hence, the translation as is
