I laugh, laugh, laugh
I laugh so that I won't cry
For those who don't know I laugh
Instead of crying
The sounds from Flamengo
Echoes in Botafogo
I belong to the egg shell
And I'll plant
These flowers in Rocinha
Whoever looks to my shack
On the Santa Marta hill
Will want to live there
I laugh, laugh, laugh
I laugh so that I won't cry
For those who don't know I laugh
Instead of crying
If I'm hungry
I eat the sugar loaf
I scream at the top of Urca
If I want a hug
I hug Christ, the Redeemer
A tambourine for you, tarol 1
Our experience was taught by the Sun
I laugh and I love it for always
I laugh, laugh, laugh
I laugh so that I won't cry
For those who don't know I laugh
Instead of crying
Take a look at Gal
