Homenagem A Zumbi Dos Palmares

Abadá Capoeira

Tribute To Zumbi Of Palmares

Angola land of my ancestors, Angola

Angola hey hey hey land of my ancestors, Angola

Where capoeira angola came from
From the sound of the berimbau, Angola
And lived in the Quilombo
The brave king Zumbi
Warrior of many battles
For his suffering people
He was a battle general
Without a military rank
Intelligence and courage
Could not be lacking
He was born in the Quilombo
But was captured
Raised by Father Antônio
Francisco was baptized
He learned the white man's language
But did not submit
Inside him, the fighter
Was stronger
Fleeing to Palmares
Ganga Zumba welcomed him
The Quilombo was in celebration
Long live Zumbi Ganga the king
That's when everything changed
Until the betrayal came
They killed warrior Zumbi
Without any compassion
His name will be remembered
Forever in history
Strength of spirit present
Do not leave our memory
