Disseram Que Eu Voltei Americanizada [English translation]

They say I was Americanized

By the stupid money

That I got filthy rich

That I hate the groove of the tambourine

That listening to the cuíca frightens me

They say that I'm worried about my hands

And word has it

That I know something

That I no longer have swing, rhythm or anything else

And that there aren't any frills any longer

But why do they come with so much spite over me?

Could I really be Americanized?

I was born with samba and live in full tranquility

Singing the old beat all night long

Samba wheels are my favorite

I really say 'Eu te amo' and never 'I love you'

As long as Brazil exists

When it comes to food

I'm all about shrimp stew with chayote

They say I was Americanized

By the stupid money

That I got filthy rich

That I hate the groove of the tambourine

That listening to the cuíca frightens me

They say that I'm worried about my hands

And word has it

That I know something

That I no longer have swing, rhythm or anything else

And that there aren't any frills any longer

But why do they come with so much spite over me?

Could I really be Americanized?

I was born with samba and live in full tranquility

Singing the old beat all night long

Samba wheels are my favorite

I really say 'Eu te amo' and never 'I love you'

As long as Brazil exists

When it comes to food

I'm all about shrimp stew with chayote

Thank you very much!
