Beleza (feat. Avion Blackman)

In the midst of political corruption Stands the greatest nation in the south

Despite their current tribulations
No you can never keep them down

They’re always dancing and praising
With passion their voices are raising high
They’re always dancing and praising God

That’s the sound of the Samba beat
Beleza
People dancing in the street
Beleza
And their hearts are full of fire
Beleza
And they’re taking it up higher
Beleza

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Higher-oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Higher-oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

They’re on the verge of the greatest awakening
Hear them praise the Lord with the berimbau
The Lord is their strength and they’ll never be shaken no
No you can never keep them down

They’re always dancing and praising
With passion their voices are raising high
They’re always dancing and praising God

That’s the sound of the Samba beat
Beleza
Galeras dancing in the streets
Beleza
Yes their hearts are full of fire
Beleza
And they're taking it up higher
Beleza

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Higher-oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Higher-oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Release the fire, release the fire, release the fire Lord
Release the fire, release the fire, release the fire Lord

Straight from Rio de Janeiro down to São Paolo
See the people into the streets singing “oh way oh”
And from Salvador up to São Luis
We praise the Criador (Creator) with this samba beat

Derrama fogo, derrama fogo, derrama fogo Deus
Derrama fogo, derrama fogo, derrama fogo Deus

Hear the sound of the Samba beat
Beleza
See people dancing in the streets
Beleza
Yes their hearts are full of fire
Beleza
When they’re praising the Messiah
Beleza

Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Higher-oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Higher-oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Release the fire, release the fire, release the fire Lord
Derrama fogo, derrama fogo, derrama fogo Deus
