Maracatu, Nação do Amor (April Child)

Moacir Santos Moacir Santos

Maracatu, Nation of Love (April Child)

Who comes there
Emerging from behind the sea?
Could it be the calunga, in a steamboat
Bringing love from Luanda?
Ê, gonguê
Play there so I can see
I want to see the mill turn
At the moment love arrives

Love is king
Our Bantu king
His voice is law
In the maracatu

Ê, lady
Prepare the uçá crab
Sauté and scald the sururu
Refine the cashew wine
Ê, iaiá
From the island of Itamaracá
Prepare the tucum net
For love has come to tangle one more

Love is king
Our Bantu king
His voice is law
In the maracatu

Love is king
Our Bantu king
His voice is law
In the maracatu

Ecô...
But who comes there
Emerging from behind the sea?
Could it be the calunga, in a steamboat
Bringing love from Luanda?
Ê, gonguê
Play there so I can see
I want to see the mill turn
At the moment love arrives

Love is king
Our Bantu king
His voice is law
In the maracatu!
Maracatu!
