Ellegibo
Elegibo, enchanted city
Elegibo, your royal majesty
Araketu ritual of candomblé
Exalts the cities of ghetto and sapé
The man was wounded
Using his powers
Difficult years passed
Many beings suffered
The vassals were left without pasture
The fauna and flora no longer sprouted
The women became sterile
The flower of their sex will never open
He, he
He, he, elegibo
Elegibo, elegibo he, he
He, he, elegibo
Elegibo, elegibo
Flourishing city (elegibo)
Shining city (elegibo)
The warriors fought among themselves
With stick blows, it was the ritual
For several hours
Battles were fought between good and evil
Then they returned with the king
To the sacred forest
Where they ate the well-cooked
Yam dough
Which will be eaten by all their
Black men in communion with God
He, he
He, he, elegibo
Elegibo, elegibo he, he
He, he, elegibo
Elegibo, elegibo
Flourishing city (elegibo)
Shining city (elegibo)
