Depois Que O Ilê Passar Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Depois Que O Ilê Passar by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Eu parei no tempo estou leve
I stopped in time, I am light
Espero que esse beat me carregue oh
I hope this beat carries me, oh
E me jogue lá no meio do povão
And throws me there in the middle of the crowd
Eu parei no tempo estou leve
I stopped in time, I am light
Espero que esse reggae me carregue oh
I hope this reggae carries me, oh
E me jogue lá no meio do salão
And throws me there in the middle of the dance floor
Eu sou do batuquê
I am of the batuque
Sou do levadão, sou do ilê
I am of the levadão, I am of the ilê
Sou do batidão negão, sou do batuquê
I am of the heavy beat, I am of the batuque
Do levadão, sou do ilê
Of the levadão, I am of the ilê
Sou do batidão negão, sou da paz e do amor
I am of the heavy beat, I am of peace and love
Vim aqui
I came here
E quando eu passar, vou levar
And when I pass by, I'll take it
E quando eu cantar, vai tremer
And when I sing, it will shake
Avisa que Ivetinha tá passando
Announce that Ivetinha is passing by
E o povo vai descer pra ver
And the people will come down to see
E quando eu passar, vou levar
And when I pass by, I'll take it
E quando eu cantar, vai tremer
And when I sing, it will shake
Avisa que Ivetinha tá passando
Announce that Ivetinha is passing by
E o povo vai descer pra ver
And the people will come down to see
(Quero ver voce passar)
(I want to see you pass by)
Sou da paz e do amor
I am of peace and love
Vim aqui pra lhe mostrar
I came here to show you
E quando eu passar, vou levar
And when I pass by, I'll take it
E quando eu cantar, vai tremer
And when I sing, it will shake
Avisa que Ivetinha tá passando
Announce that Ivetinha is passing by
E o povo vai descer pra ver
And the people will come down to see
E quando eu passar, vou levar
And when I pass by, I'll take it
E quando eu cantar, vai tremer
And when I sing, it will shake
Avisa que Ivetinha tá passando
Announce that Ivetinha is passing by
E o povo vai descer pra ver
And the people will come down to see
