Dandalunda

Very close to the ghetto entrance
An Angolan and Ketu yard
Mother Maiamba who commands the center
Lady Oxúm dancing Oxóssi in time

Up there in the tamarind tree
Marinha da Pipoca kneels
In January, on the first day
The owner of the yard descends

Coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Coquê

Your Zumbi is indeed a saint, I know
Caxixi, agdavi, capoeira
House of batuque and drumming on the table
Beautiful saint, Iansã of purity

Turns fire, dock, dock, come closer
I saw Nanã inside the Jejê forest
Embers lit in the frevo dance
Makes the whole body shiver

Coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Coquê

Dandalunda, hovers on the edge
Dandalunda, from the waterfall
Dandalunda, peace and fresh water
Dandalunda, gilds palm oil
Coquê

Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
Dandalunda, maimbanda, coquê
