Bumba Meu Boi de Axixá
Life Lessons
When this night comes
I forget the lashes
That time gives me
If I rejoice my chest
Within this right
That the saint brings me
Saint John is my guide
And the world is my teacher
I have to learn
The moonlight shone
My master whistled
The party ended
Since early I learned
That those who want to pick roses
Will find thorns
Suffered scars
Are life lessons
That life gives us
I became happier
When I heard my people sing
There goes my most beautiful ox
There goes Bumba boi from Axixá
I became happier
When I heard my people sing
There goes my most beautiful ox
There goes Bumba boi from Axixá
When this night comes
I forget the lashes
That time gives me
If I rejoice my chest
Within this right
That the saint brings me
Saint John is my guide
And the world is my teacher
I have to learn
The moonlight shone
My master whistled
The party ended
Since early I learned
That those who want to pick roses
Will find thorns
Suffered scars
Are life lessons
That life gives us
I became happier
When I heard my people sing
There goes my most beautiful ox
There goes Bumba boi from Axixá
I became happier
When I heard my people sing
There goes my most beautiful ox
There goes Bumba boi from Axixá
And see how beautiful it is
My ox swaying
How the brunette comes to see
You dance for me to sing
When this night comes
I forget the lashes
That time gives me
If I rejoice my chest
Within this right
That the saint brings me
Saint John is my guide
And the world is my teacher
I have to learn
The moonlight shone
My master whistled
The party ended
Since early I learned
That those who want to pick roses
Will find thorns
Suffered scars
Are life lessons
That life gives us
I became happier
When I heard my people sing
There goes my most beautiful ox
There goes Bumba boi from Axixá
I became happier
When I heard my people sing
There goes my most beautiful ox
There goes Bumba boi from Axixá
