Our sound, Samba Reggae, can be heard not only in the shows of popular blocos like Olodum, but also from smaller blocos like Dilazenze in the smaller city of Ilheus.

Linda, esta musica
Doce amor meu grande sonho
Me deixaste tão tristonho
Em dizer que vais embora
Arruinaste a minha vida
Sem saber minha querida
Como eu lamento e choro
Deixa eu viver na inocência
Que a falta de consciência neste amor
É maior que a própria dor
Um poeta escreveu para nós dois, ô flor
Lindos versos, seu passado foi tristonho
Ao reler os seus poemas teve quem chorou
Em saber que foi você quem me deixou

Eu peço que caia devagar
Só molhe esse povo de alegria
Para nunca mais chorar.

Se você jurar que me tem amor
Eu posso me regenerar
Mas se é para fingir, mulher
A orgia assim não vou deixar
