Cultura – O Triunfo do Povo

But I'll play again
But I'll sing my people
Make my ox win
But I'll play again

(But I'll play again)
(But I'll sing my people)
(Make my ox win)
(But I'll play again)

"The knowledge of the people is an expression of victory
In a history where the truth was hidden from us
It is the originating strength of our ancestors
The gourd seed born in creation
Wisdom cradled in the arms of a black mother
Are wanderings, diasporas, struggles and teachings
Are battles, resistances, persistences and hopes
Are cares, caresses, healings and shamanism
But above all it is the mouth that speaks
The word that enchants
The song that no one will silence
The sonorous flavor of the scream that tears through time
To proclaim to the people the triumph of their knowledge
Long live the Caprichoso Bull!
The triumph of popular culture!

"Blue and white nation, the drum will rumble!
Look at the ox, look at the ox
Look at the ox, the most passionate crowd of the festival"

I am the triumphant people
I am the popular force
I am root, tradition and knowledge
The party of my ox bumbá

Hi, excuse me, I'm from Caprichoso Bull!
I am the strength of the people
The uprising of popular art

I come from struggles!
Resistance of the people
Manifesto of the streets
I am the revolution of the bumbá ox!

(It's Caprichoso)
Root of this forest people
Tradition translated into celebration
Knowledge for the healing of the earth
The triumph of the singing people!

Tamurás in the villages resound
The roar of the drum, the vibrating quilombo
From the northeast the guitar calling
Bumba my ox
Caprichoso to rumble
It's faith, it's myth, it's art
It's the rite, it's the belief, the custom, the singing

Prepare your heart
Caprichoso has arrived
Calling his people
Come triumph!

I am the triumphant people
I am the popular force
I am root, tradition and knowledge
The party of my ox bumbá

I am the triumphant people
I am the popular force
I am root, tradition and knowledge
The party of my ox bumbá

(hey, hey)
Oh-oh-ho
