Afro Beat

Smoothly sliding I go
Surpassing the staggering crowd
With my blood-colored turban, I'm Malê
I'm a pacifist, I love the goddess and you. (Chorus)

In my well-paced step, history
Becomes humble at my feet begging
For the Black to show with his song his glory
And no more racism to lament. (Chorus)

My Black Atlantis ancestors, great titans
Whether fact or legend, science hasn't proven
If in Luanda I was toasted by the Sun
In this diaspora, I am the Yoruba mother. (Chorus)

I am Dandalunda, mother of the African seas
Black mermaid queen of all waters
My song is sad, the sorrows have not ceased
It's pure tears, gold, silver, rare jewel.

Seas and rivers the Malê comes to exalt
It's all of Nanã's water to irrigate. (Chorus)

Odoiá, Odoiá, Odoiá, Odoiá

I step on the asphalt like I step on the clay
It's all of Nanã's water to irrigate
I am Afro Beat warrior, I'm Malê
It's all of Nanã's water to irrigate.
Odoiá...
