Rei Zumbi de Palmares

History deceives us
Saying the opposite
It even says that abolition
Happened in May
The proof of this lie
Is that I don't get out of misery

Long live November 20th
A moment to remember
I see nothing to celebrate
On May 13th
Many times have passed and the black man always fights

Zumbi is our hero Zumbi is our hero, old friend
Of Palmares he was lord
For the cause of the black man
He fought the most
Despite all the struggle, old friend
The black man did not get free, comrade!

Hey, it's time, it's time
Hey, it's time, it's time, comrade

Hey, let's go
Hey, let's go, comrade

Hey, long live my god
Hey, long live my god, comrade

Hey, long live my master
Hey, long live my master, comrade

Hey, who taught me
Hey, who taught me, comrade
