Canto Ao Pescador
Olodum
Song to the Fisherman
He threw his net
Oh fisherman
Enchanted by the beauty
Of this beautiful sea
It's the second of February
It's the day of Yemanja
I bring you offerings
To offer to her
And without idolatry
The Olodum will follow
Yes, as Caymmi used to say
Noble is the man singing to enchant
My raft will go out to sea
I will work
My beloved
I know the sea of history
Is agitated
And the Olodum, the wave that will come
In the form of a deluge comes
To awaken love in me
In the form of a deluge comes
To exterminate
With racist sequels
And bringing ideals of love and peace
With racist sequels
And bringing ideals
Oloxum, Inaê
Janaína
And mara, mara, mara
Marabôcaiala, sobá
Travel, hey
Dance
Take me Olodum in your wave
That I want to go (travel) (to the sea)
Travel, hey
Dance
Take me Olodum in your wave
That I want to go
Olodum, Slave Ship
Docked in Salvador
Brought music emitting
Ideals of the black flower
And today exalts the sea
Conductor of the ship
And today exalts the sea
Conductor of the ship
