Lágrimas do Sul (Para Winnie Mandela)

Revive
All that you suffered
Port of hopelessness and tears
Pain of loneliness
Pray to your orixás
Keep the beat of the drum
To greet your beauty
On the return of reason
Black skin, warm and gentle
Your body and sweat
For the dance of joy
And a thousand wings to fly
That will come one day
And may it come now, don't delay, no
Time for humanity, to wake up
Continent and more
The song continues to ask for you
(The song continues to ask for us)

Africa, cradle of my parents
I hear the voice of your lament
Of the crowd
Grid and slavery
The shame day by day
And the wind from your south
Is the seed of another story
That has already repeated
The dawn we await
And man did not feel
That the end of this evil
Is the gas that generates chaos
It's the mark of madness

Africa, in the name of God
Silence the mouth of this world
And walk, until never again
The song continues to root for us
