Spell of the Vila

Who is born there in the Vila Doesn't even hesitate To embrace the samba Which makes the branches Of the grove dance And the moon rise earlier There in Vila Isabel He who has graduated Has no fear of the bully São Paulo gives coffee Minas gives milk And Vila Isabel gives samba

The Vila has A spell which is pure Without candle without a penny Which does us well Having the name of a princess Transformed the samba Into a proper spell Which captures the people

The sun in the Vila is sad Samba doesn't help Because the people beg Sun, for the love of God Don't come now That the dark women will soon go away I know all I do Know where I'm going Passion doesn't annihilate me But I have to say, modesty aside, My friends, I'm from the Vila
