Realengo is a neighborhood in northern Rio de Janeiro. The lower and middle class neighborhood is between the Mendanha and Pedra Branca mountains. It is located between the mountains of Pedra Branca (White Rock) and Mendanha in the northern of the called West Zone (Zona Oeste) of the city, owned and names the XXXIII Administrative Region which encompasses the entire east around the neighborhood. Realengo usually has the highest temperatures in the city, even though the winter nights are often cold because of the proximity to the mountains. Created on November 20, 1815, every year on this day the city's birthday is celebrated with the Week of Realengo. According to popular tradition, its name would have been short for the Real Engenho (Royal Mill) which was Real Eng°, posted on the board on top of the tramway and, over time, became popularly Realengo. However, another source comes from the phrase "Terras Realengas" (Land Realengas) because they were far from the court, as they were called the land of the region. Pedro I of Brazil used to go to the farm of Santa Cruz (Saint Cross) by the Estrada Real de Santa Cruz (Royal Road to Santa Cruz), passing by the Real Engenho, where he often stayed.
I wanna bathe in milk
Eat grapes
Robert De Niro sit on my face
I can't sleep for thinkin'
Send my head a reelin'
Reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin'
I wanna go to Spain
Spend nights
Just sippin' on nectar and ice
I can't sleep for thinkin'
Send my head a reelin'
You bet that I'm Wayne
To backhand
Eliminate a whole race
Wanna make the shit hit the fan
I can't sleep for thinkin'
Send my head a reelin'
Reelin', reelin'
Even Aphrodites
She's got nothing on me
Reelin', reelin'
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Ah fly me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Dye my hair on stage
Call on my man, Romeo
Come and climb my braids
Reelin', reelin'
Reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin'
Even Aphrodites
She'll have nothing on me
Reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin', reelin'
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Take me to the moon
Reelin', reelin'
Take me to the moon
Reelin', reelin'
Fly me to the moon
Reelin', reelin'
Take me to the moon
Reelin', reelin'
Reelin', reelin'
Reelin', reelin'
