Original lyrics
Balança Pema
Balança pema,
balança sem parar,
arrasta as sandálias,
arrasta até gastar.
Pois quando você sambalança,
sambalança o meu coração também.
Ele sambalança certinho,
juntinho com o seu vai e vem.
Balança pema,
balança sem parar,
arrasta as sandálias,
arrasta até gastar.
Se você jurar
ensinar sambalançar assim.
Eu lhe darei uma sandália de prata,
prá você sambalançar só prá mim.
Balança pema,
balança sem parar,
arrasta as sandálias,
arrasta até gastar.

Translation
Shake That Fishtail
Swing that fishtail
Shake it without stopping
Drag your sandals
Drag them until you wear them out
When you swing in samba
My heart also swings in samba
It swings in the right way
Following your moves
Shake that fishtail!
Shake it without stopping
Drag your sandals
Drag them until you wear them out
If you promise
You'll teach me how to dance to swing as you do
I will gift you with a silver sandal
For you to swing only for me
Swing that fishtail
Shake it without stopping
Drag your sandals
Drag them until you wear them out
