The empress of Tijuco
The owner of Diamantina
She lived with her court
Surrounded by beautiful maids

In a castle
In the Farm, in the Straw
Of solid and refined architecture
Where she even had an artificial lake
And a luxurious galley
That her love João Fernandes, the handler
Had made, just for her
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Xica da, Xica da, Xica da

Xica da, Xica da, Xica da
Xica da Silva, the Black!

Very rich and envied
Feared and hated
For with her wigs
Each one of a different color

Jewels, exotic clothes
From the Indies, Lisbon, and Paris
The black woman was obliged to be received
As a great lady
Of the court
Of King Luís!
Of the court
Of King Luís!

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
