Paroles et traduction Moraes Moreira - Caranguejo Dance

Caranguejo Dance

É o treme terra
Tambor de guerra soa declarando paz
Com toda treva
Derrama luz, acende, some, leva e trás

Por toda vida, a vida vivida, mestre, aprendiz
É de preceito, bate fundo, peito, coração me diz

É a nova dança
Caboco lança e a novidade me possui
Danço e me vejo
Um caranguejo que na pista evolui

Swing fé que nasce da mulher que de repente parte
Tão decidida gravidade vida ergue um estandarte
O estandarte

Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu
Mas e nossa voz e eles
Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu
Mas e nossa voz e eles

Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu
Mas e nossa voz e eles
Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu
Mas e nossa voz e eles

Por todo lado
Aqui virado na esteira do tarol
Por toda rua
A luz da lua, a luz do dia, a luz do sol

Alinhalhudos homens e mulheres, todas as idades
No carnaval trabalhador rural dançando na cidade

Silenciosos
Por um momento não tocaram seus tambores
No bate escuro
Ali eu juro, eu vi senhoras e senhores

E a meninada, animadamente celebrando ia
Não demorava, era um que chegava, outro que saía
Saía

Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu
Mas e nossa voz e eles
Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu
Mas e nossa voz e eles

Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu
Mas e nossa voz e eles
Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu
Mas e nossa voz e eles

Maracatu
(Maracatu e eu, maracatu e eu)
(Mas e nossa voz e eles)

Caranguejo Dance

It's shaking the earth
Drum of war is beating, declaring peace
With all darkness
It's shedding light, turning it on, absorbing it and bringing it back

Through all life, the life lived, master, apprentice
It's a precept, beat deep, chest, heart tells me

It's the new dance
Caboco launches it and the novelty possesses me
I dance and I see myself
A crab that evolves on the dance floor

Swing faith that is born from the woman who suddenly leaves
So determined, the force of life raises a banner
The banner

Maracatu and me, maracatu and me
But what about our voice and them
Maracatu and me, maracatu and me
But what about our voice and them

Maracatu and me, maracatu and me
But what about our voice and them
Maracatu and me, maracatu and me
But what about our voice and them

Everywhere
Turned here by the snare drum
In every street
Moonlight, sunlight, sunshine

Men and women in fancy dress, all ages
At Carnival, rural worker dancing in the city

Silent
For a moment, their drums stopped playing
In the dark beat
There, I swear, I saw ladies and gentlemen

And the kids, celebrating animatedly
It wasn't long before someone was coming and someone else was leaving
Leaving

Maracatu and me, maracatu and me
But what about our voice and them
Maracatu and me, maracatu and me
But what about our voice and them

Maracatu and me, maracatu and me
But what about our voice and them
Maracatu and me, maracatu and me
But what about our voice and them

Maracatu
(Maracatu and I, maracatu and I)
(But what about our voice and them)
