Partying in Independência Town

Tarcísio Sardinha / Flávio Paiva

It’s a rainy day and the city celebrates
All of the kids go out to the street to get wet
Some in shorts and bare feet, others not
Blooming just like flowers

It rains over here
It rains over there
Droplets of rain
Pour love everywhere

The rain pours down
Off rooftops and pipes
It waters my heart
In lollipop flavor

And we can see from the sidewalk
A beautiful rainbow painted with rays of light
Happiness in a pa/per boat
Heaven’s angels crayons

It rains over here
It rains over there
Drop-lets of rain
Pour love everywhere

The rain pours down
Off rooftops and pipes
It waters my heart
In lollipop flavor
