Boi da Cara Preta
Jair Rodrigues
Black-Faced Ox
Ox, ox, ox
Black-faced ox
Take this child
Who is afraid of grimaces
Ox, ox, ox
Black-faced ox
Take this child
Who is afraid of grimaces
I didn't cry, because I don't know how to cry
Nor did I complain, because I'm not one to complain
I only exalted, Eneida, love and fantasy
I sang entrudo, Zé Pereira, the king of revelry
Ox, ox, ox
Black-faced ox
Take this child
Who is afraid of grimaces
A lemon tree is a lemon tree
A flower is a flower
A drummer is a drummer
A singer is a singer
A whole candle doesn't light me up
A stump of a candle wants to light me up
Heavy rain doesn't wet me
Dew wants to wet me
My lord
I didn't cry, because I don't know how to cry
Nor did I complain, because I'm not one to complain
I only exalted, Eneida, love and fantasy
I sang everything, Zé Pereira, the king of revelry
Ox, ox, ox
Black-faced ox
Take this child
Who is afraid of grimaces
