Raízes (feat. Rael)

Negra Li Negra Li

Roots (feat. Rael)

You laugh at my skin
You laugh at my hair
Saravá, I'm light-skinned, and that's how I want to be (want to be)
It's time to dream, overcome the nightmare
No one will silence us and chain my ankle
I'm the Queen of Sheba
The crown is my hair
My millenary song
No one can interrupt it

My pain is from captivity
Yours is from jealousy
My pain is from captivity
Yours is from jealousy

We have the color of the night, children of the whip, like Usain Bolt
No one can reach us
And nothing silences us, slavery is over, they tried bullets
No one will stop us
Children of Luanda coming from Wakanda, today the black people rule
You'll have to listen
With more heroine with more melanin, like Jovelina
Blacks are pearls

I overcame prejudice and did it in a way
That many are inspired by me
With a lot of resistance, I became a reference
For others who come from where I come from
From Brasilândia to all Brazil
Today I serve as a role model
It's necessary to respect
My skin, my appeal

My pain is from captivity
And yours is from jealousy
My pain is from captivity
And yours is from jealousy

My pain, oh oh oh
Many have gone through it
Teresa de Benguela
Also had Mandela
I saw many favelas
Only those who carry the pain
From cane to cutter
Know the weight, the value
Of what it refers to
Axé and much love
With the beat of the drum
For my Nagô ancestor
My past hurts me, -ere

It's time to break free, redemption
Queen of Sheba joined King Solomon
To exalt, to praise the color in question
And calm your heart

My pain is from captivity
And yours is from jealousy
My pain is from captivity
And yours is from jealousy
