Na brisa, no vento, na praça
Te abraça, que passa e
Na lama, no limbo ou na grama com você
Ja-ja-jacaré, jacaré, je-jaca-
Ja-ja-jacaré, querendo ir contigo dançar
Essa força animal ancestral
Me chama, me inflama e
Percebo o amor que desejo ficar com você
Jacaré da boca louca de mora-
De morar da sua barriga
Vem me engolir com seus beijos
Vem matar o meu desejo
Ja-ja-jacaré, jacaré, je-jaca-
Ja-ja-jacaré, querendo ir contigo dançar

Jacaré means alligator in Portuguese but it’s also a derogatory word for women who like women. We wanted to take the word and flip it into something positive and joyful rather than a term used as an insult or threat. This song is super fun and sexy and inspired by our time in Brazil. We wrote the lyrics together with our long time collaborator and friend, the Brazilian poet, Chacal. It’s been a highlight in every DJ set we’ve done recently. It’s a celebration of Brazil, of women and the LGBTQ+ community ;)
