É Luanda

Kalunga slave ship name that came from the sea
It was a slave baggage man who went by boat there
Brought new words, kianda turned into Yemanja
Calulu turned into mukeka, funge turned into vatapá

Kimbanda who is a father of saint, our saint is there Iansã
Crioulo in the river is black, candonga is muamba there

I am from Bahia it's Luanda
Gilberto Gil is Luanda
The ileia he, it's Luanda
Even Olodum is Luanda

Kianda that here is saint, umbanda is witchcraft there
There is a street that belongs to the black women, that our muyu ngo is not here
Makas only speak mouths, mouths are also there
The mujimbo is gossip, a word that is not here

Kimbanda who is a father of saint, in the saint is there Iansã
Crioulo in the river is black, candonga is muamba there

I am from Bahia it's Luanda
Gilberto Gil is Luanda
The ileia he, it's Luanda
Even Olodum is Luanda
