Fuzuê

Berimbau's playing
Gourd's moaning
Coins are rolling
I wanted to jump
Ah! Ah!
I wanted to jump
Ah! Ah!

I wrote my name on a wire
And whoever calls me
Will have to shout

Yeah! Buddy!
Yeah! Buddy!

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Maria Macamba lost her bucket
In a cateretê
Danced night and day
It even seemed like she’d die

Born in a quilombo
Learned to take a fall
In the canjerê

Carried a basket on her back
With water and pitombo
To trade for palm oil, fuzuê

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

There was a coconut tree
Covering the yard
Where I was born

I saw the coconut was hollow
And worth so little
To climb up

But with a stick in hand
I’d hit the coconut
To make it fall

And I’d grab the coconut
Break it with a punch
No repeats, fuzuê

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Berimbau's playing
Gourd's moaning
Coins are rolling
I wanted to jump
Ah! Ah!
I wanted to jump
Ah! Ah!

I wrote my name on a wire
And whoever calls me
Will have to shout

Yeah! Buddy!
Yeah! Buddy!

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back

Yeah! Fuzuê!
Mud wall
Won't hold me back
