Besouro Preto
Mestre Mão Branca
Black Beetle
In Santo Amaro
Around Bahia
The Beetle was known for his bravery
A bold black man, strong as a bull
Wore gold earrings
A scarf tied around his neck
Carried his berimbau and a knife in his pocket
Black Beetle was talked about in Bahia
Feared in Santo Amaro for his bravery
Beetle ehhhh, Beetle ahhhh
Black Beetle, Beetle from Mangangá
Beetle ehhhh, Beetle ahhhh (chorus)
All over the world
There's no one who hasn't heard
Beetle ehhhh, Beetle ahhhh (chorus)
