Ouro Negro



Vieram do mar, de terras distantes.
Nas costas o açoite e na fome a morte.
De um continente rico.
Magia e mistério de um povo arquetípico.

Eh! Barco de ouro negro!
Sangue, suor e sofrimento.

Roubados os seus sonhos e as suas vidas.
Deixando aberta uma ferida.
Que o tempo não apaga fácil.
Correntes e látegos, não desaparecem.

Vieram do mar, trazendo Orixás.
Lendas, histórias, pra se lembrar.
Origens, raízes e tantas riquezas .
Berço de raças.
Deuses e profetas.

Eh! O barco tá cheio de ouro negro!
Sangue, suor e sofrimento.
O filho, o pai, a mãe, o avô.
O sangue não esquece a dor.

Vieram do mar,
sorriso marfim,
pele de ébano,
cacau, café, cravo e canela.

Magia, mistério de um povo.
Força da terra e da natureza.

Eh! Sangue e suor!
Rapadura, quilombo, arroz e feijão.

Eh! Sangue e ouro negro!
Chora, canta, dança, luta!
Planta e colhe a fruta.

Eh! O barco tá cheio de sal…
Lágrimas, sangue, suor e tristeza.



BLACK GOLD
They arrived by sea from distant lands.
In the back, the whip, and with hunger, death.
A rich continent,
magic and mystery of an archetypal village.
Eh! Boat of black gold!
Blood, sweat and suffering.
They stole their dreams and their lives.
Leaving open a wound
that time does not easily erase.
Whips and chains, do not fade.
They came from the sea, bringing Orixas.
Legends, stories to remember.
Origins, roots and so much wealth.
Cradle of races,
Gods and prophets.
Eh! The boat is full of black gold!
Blood, sweat and suffering.
Son, father, mother, grandfather.
The blood can not forget the pain.
They came from the sea,
ivory smile,
ebony skin,
cocoa, coffee, cloves and cinnamon.
Magic, mystery of a people.
Strength of Earth and nature.
Eh! Blood and sweat!
Brown sugar, quilombo, rice and beans.
Eh! Blood and black gold!
Cry, sing, dance, fight!
Plant and harvest the fruit.
Eh! The ship is full of salt ...
Tears, blood, sweat and sorrow.
