Ilê Pérola Negra

The song of the black man came from above
It's beautiful like the iris of God's eyes, of God
And in the drumming, in the beat, in the clash of steel
I want to enter the Afro bond that is mine, and yours
Come sing my people, come sing you
Stamp your feet on the ground, folks
And say you're from Ilê Aiyê

Here comes the black folks who make the astral of the avenue
But how beautiful it is, when she passes by it makes me cry
Here comes the black folks who make the astral of the avenue
But how beautiful it is, when she passes by it makes me cry

You are the most beautiful of the beautiful, bring peace, wealth
You shine so brightly that's why I call you black pearl
You are the most beautiful of the beautiful, bring peace, wealth
You shine so brightly that's why I call you black pearl

Hey hey, black pearl
Black pearl Ilê Aiyê
My black pearl
Hey hey, black pearl
Black pearl Ilê Aiyê
My black pearl

Here comes the black folks who make the astral of the avenue
But how beautiful it is, when she passes by it makes me cry
Here comes the black folks who make the astral of the avenue
But how beautiful it is, when she passes by it makes me cry

You are the most beautiful of the beautiful, bring peace, wealth
You shine so brightly that's why I call you black pearl

With subtlety singing and enchanting the nation
Beating each heart strongly
Making my adrenaline rise

As Buziga used to say
It's from me
In my nagô foot of Ilê
It's from me
In my nagô foot of Ilê Aiyê

Hey hey, black pearl
Black pearl Ilê Aiyê
My black pearl
Hey hey, black pearl
Black pearl Ilê Aiyê
My black pearl

You are the most beautiful of the beautiful, bring peace, wealth
You shine so brightly that's why I call you black pearl
You are the most beautiful of the beautiful, bring peace, wealth
You shine so brightly that's why I call you black pearl

As Buziga used to say
It's from me
In my nagô foot of Ilê
It's from me
In my nagô foot of Ilê Aiyê

Hey hey, black pearl
Black pearl Ilê Aiyê
My black pearl
Hey hey, black pearl
Black pearl Ilê Aiyê
My black pearl
