Leão do Norte

Lenine Lenine

Lion of the North

I am the heart of northeastern folklore
I am Matthew and Bastion of Boi Bumbá
I am a doll of Master Vitalino
Dancing a ciranda in Itamaracá
I am a verse by Carlos Pena Filho
In a frevo from Capiba, to the sound of the armorial orchestra
I am Capibaribe in a book by João Cabral

I am a puppeteer from São Bento do Una
Coming in a loose thud of a Maracatu
I am a play by Ariano Suassuna
In the middle of the Caruaru Fair
I am Friar Caneca in the Pastoral of Faceta
Taking the lyre flower to New Jerusalem
I'm Luiz Gonzaga, I'm giving kisses to my loved one

I am a mameluke, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North
I am a mameluco, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North

I am Macambira from Joaquim Cardoso
Pife Band in the middle of the Sugar Cane Field
In the night of silent drums
I'm the calunga revealing Carnival
I am the revelry that comes down from Olinda
The midnight man pulling that string
I'm a raftsman at the Jaboatão festival

I am a mameluke, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North
I am a mameluco, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North

I am a mameluke, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North
I am a mameluke, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North

I am a mameluke, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North
I am a mameluke, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North

I am a mameluke, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North
I am a mameluke, I am from Casa Forte
I'm from Pernambuco, I'm the Lion of the North
