Festa do Congado

The yard is already full
The circle has already begun
To make a black party
The Congado has arrived

Blessed is the patron saint
He is already walking around
Bend the knee, calunga
For he is our protector

With the kings of Congo
And the queen's general
The procession follows to the square

The mill is stopped
Everything is resting
The old man will dance

And the dew is falling
And the procession is disappearing
It's the party of King Congá

And the yard is already full
The circle has already begun
To make a black party
The Congado has arrived

Blessed is the patron saint
He is already walking around
Bend the knee, calunga
For he is our protector
He is our protector
He is our protector
