歌手:Teena Marie
专辑:《Emerald City》

Mary's into new things got a brand new bag
Superficial living made her life a drag
World stereotypes her as she coins the phrase
Living for the hot wax and the printed page
She no longer wants to boss the bull around
Contrary to popular belief

All she wants to do is get inside your head
And play the fun rhythms of the street

Batucada Suite Batucada Suite
Rhythms of the street

Music for the soul
Music for the soul love to make you whole

Estebans a walker and a superman
Says that love will someday
Reign throughout this land
Says he's glad you let him try it all again
'Cause his last time on earth he lived life in sin

All he wants to do is spread his eagle wings
And fly south for the winter just like me
All he wants to do is get inside your head
And play the funky rhythms from the streets
Batucada Suite
Batucada Suite rhythms for the feet

Music for the soul
Music for the soul geared to make you whole

Tribal drums of the African

The reggae of the Rastaman

The ragas of the Indians

Rock-n-roll music of my homeland

The salsa of Spanish descent

Tender lutes of the Orient

Jesus music is heaven sent

To remind us of what has went
Batu-Batu-cada

Batu-Batu-cada

Batu-Batu-cada

As I taste life bittersweet
I know I am not complete

Until the message in my songs are yours
If you feel a pain unfair
Crosses too heavy to bear

Preservation comes from peace not war
Batu-Batu-cada
