Quilombolas da Amazônia

My song is proud and libertarian
Rhythmic to drums and xequerés
Melody of struggle for racial equality
Emancipation of my people
Celebrates the life of the griôs of knowledge

Fly, fly, fly
Fly my canto cangoma
Fly, fly, fly
In this drumming of my boi-bumbá
Fly, fly, fly
Your winged word is Sansa Kroma
Fly, fly, fly
Bird of Yoruba freedom

We are quilombolas of the Amazon
Blacks and cafuzos of this region
Boi Garantido celebrates its people pulsating the mother-Africa in the heart

Mocambo is the dwelling of the cabano dream
Sailing on the waters of our river-sea
Iretê, Puru, Madeira, Trombetas, Negro, Tapajós, Andirá

I'm from São José!
São Benedito, Verequete, I'm from carimbó, lundu and siriá
Retumbão, bird cord, marambiré, marabaixo and boi-bumbá

Fly, fly, fly
Fly high and make it shine
Fly, fly, fly
In the black sky of consciousness
Fly, fly, fly
The constellation of resistance
Fly, fly, fly
Reflected in every gaze

I bring the ancestral heritage of oppressed generations
Brazilian resistance and strength of the African matrix
Announcing a new time of freedom and hope!
