My heart is colourless
Versions: #2'We are all moving around the old circle'1,
Singing in this sweet and salty language.
What is far is near in the songs
Which make a party between three continents.
We dance samba2 and marrabenta3 too,
We cry the fado4and play the coladeira5.
The door is always open to welcome everyone.
If one is tired, says goodbye to tiredness6.
Corridinho7 started to run,
A well-performed and hopping dance.
Just play the funaná5and the malhão8 vigorously
And we will dance together, without getting confused,
In the offbeat pace of this heart.
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's make a circle and dance!
We are on the mood, let's dance.
Come on, mix your flavour with mine9.
Let this song sail away
Because my heart is colourless10.
We are on the mood, let's dance.
Come on, mix your flavour with mine.
Let this song sail away
Because my heart is colourless.
We are always dancing,
Our bodies swing with sweet and slow moves.
In our mouths there is a tumultuous saudade11
for fig, papaya and guaraná12.
Vira13 started to turn and merengue14 too,
We cry the morna5 and play the sapateia15.
The door is always open to welcome everyone
Because we like when our house is full of people.
Let's dance the bailinho16,
Bring the sanfona17 and the cavaquinho18.
Chula19 will be danced and the baião2 too
And we will dance together, without getting confused,
In the offbeat pace of this heart.
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's make a circle and dance!
We are on the mood, let's dance.
Come on, mix your flavour with mine.
Let this song sail away
Because my heart is colourless.
We are on the mood, let's dance.
Come on, mix your flavour with mine.
Let this song sail away
Because my heart is colourless.
Hey!
(And turn around, and turn around to the end)
Because my heart is colourless.
