Toque de timbaleiro
Sacudindo o mundo inteiro
Foi criado na Bahia
Saudando os orixás
Com a força ijexá
Candomblé, reggae, magia
Timbaleiro beat
Shaking the entire world
It was created in Bahia
Welcoming the orishas
With the strength (of) ijexá
Candomblé, reggae, magic
Embalalala Timbalalá
Embalalala Timbalalá
Party on;
Timbalalá (sounds like “Timbalada”
but means nothing)
Vem com tranças negras lindas
Toque de timbau ê ô
(It) comes with beautiful black
tresses
Beat of (the) timbau, la la
Timbalada revitaliza
Um brugundum bragadá
Brugundum bragadá
Timbalada revitalizes
Boom boom boom, bam bam bam,
Boom boom boom, bam bam bam.
Embalalala Timbalalá
Embalalala Timbalalá
La la la
