Espinho de Laranjeira
Professor Pretinho
Orange Thorn
Where is my orange thorn
That I picked in the capoeira
To make my amulet.
Where is my orange thorn
That I picked in the capoeira
To make my amulet.
Whoever took it didn't know
That the thorn has magic and was directed
My thorn is made of strong prayer
To help increase the luck of the one who picked it up
I don't know who took my amulet
Pure lack of respect, just to provoke me
My thorn is from the pear orange tree
To help the capoeira not fall into evil
My thorn protects trunk, beautiful rose
Breaks spells and ailments, can even protect you
It's with it that I sew crooked mouth
Poke an eye, gossip comes out, it even serves to bless me
For I know that fish eye is not magic
All of this I knew, my thorn helped me
The doll sewn with my name
Was torn with the thorn that closed my body
