Roots natty, mighty roots,
What a sweet civilization, in the land of roots reggae.
Roots natty, mighty roots,
Arise from Jah-Jah's Creation, ooh, magic roots.
Roots natty, mighty roots,
In the Bumba Boi's nation, magic roots.
Roots natty, mighty roots,
Land of roots reggae preservation.
I call it Brazilian Jamaica.
You gonna feel so high,
Visiting the Love Island;
Coming to São Luis town
In the heart of the State of Maranhão.
You gonna feel so fine,
Dancing reggae music in such a roots style,
In the night clubs all the week,
Sunday in the beach,
Enjoying the hot energy
And the Island magic.
