Atibaia (or Estância de Atibaia) is a Brazilian city located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The name is derived from an indigenous language called Tupi, and means "healthy water river". Its name has changed over time, from the primitive Tupi word Tybaia, to Thibaia, Atubaia, Thibaya, and finally the city's modern name, Atibaia.
Its strawberry crops are well known. These crops are cultivated mainly by Japanese descendants, since the city was a common Japanese immigrant center.
In 1665, Jerônimo de Camargo and his expedition found a hill near a river named Tubaia (later called Atibaia River). Jerônimo de Camargo was a Bandeirante explorer. Their main objective was to search the interior lands of Brazil for rich mineral resources, such as gold, silver and emeralds in present-day state of Minas Gerais.
Camargo had his men build a chapel by the Tubaia river, which served as shelter to "tropeiros"--interior explorers on horse back—as well. The area was already occupied by Mateus Nunes da Siqueira, a priest who established contact with the Guarulhos tribe.
If you don't feel like dancing tonight, well that's all right
And if you don't feel like holding me tight, well that's all right
'cause I know that you love me
And you'll show that you love me in your own sweet time
But if you feel like hurtin' me baby, that's not right
If you don't want to go anywhere, well I don't mind
If you wanna stay home and play with your hair,
I still don't mind
'cause I know that you need me
And you'll know how to please me in your own sweet time
But if you want to leave me, well baby then I mind
I know that I've been guilty of lying
I know I had a whole lot of nerve
But the way that you treat me since I begged your pardon
Is something that I don't deserve
And if you don't want to give me a date, well that's all right
'cause I don't care how long I've got to wait, I've got all night
'cause I know that you want to
But you know that you're goin' to make me lose my mind
