Chorus (Todos juntos - Plateia e Coro)

Oh, the Blues commands my soul,
Makes a broken man feel whole!
We plant our love beneath the sun,
Two hearts beating just like one.
Sing it loud, let the music roll,
Yeah, the Blues commands my soul!

Oh, the Blues commands my soul,
Makes a broken man feel whole!
