No Terreiro da Fazenda
Abadá Capoeira
In the Farmyard
In the farmyard
There's a jequitibá tree
From the time of slavery
Oh if it could speak
Zumbi passed by there
Father José and Preta Bá
The wind blew the branches
It's trying to tell me something
In the farmyard
There's a jequitibá tree
From the time of slavery
Oh if it could speak
Underneath the big house
Is where they used to imprison
The black man who was a slave
To warm up the house
In the farmyard
There's a jequitibá tree
From the time of slavery
Oh if it could speak
The slave quarters are gone
The whipping post no longer exists
Only the jequitibá tree
That takes me back in time
In the farmyard
There's a jequitibá tree
From the time of slavery
Oh if it could speak
The master walks in silence
Can't sleep anymore
Came to look at the farm
That can no longer produce
In the farmyard
There's a jequitibá tree
From the time of slavery
Oh if it could speak
In the farmyard!
In the farmyard
There's a jequitibá tree
From the time of slavery
Oh if it could speak
