Festa Para Um Rei Negro (pega No Ganzê)
Quinho
Party for a Black King (Grab the Ganzê)
In the annals of our history
We will find
Characters of yore
That we will remember.
His life, his glory,
His immortal past
What beauty
The nobility of colonial times.
Hey-le-le, hey-la-la,
Grab the ganzê,
Grab the ganzá.
Today there's a party in the village,
Whoever wants can come,
There's a royal celebration all night long
And a bonfire to burn.
Our king came from afar
To be able to visit us,
What beauty
The nobility that visits the gongá.
Hey-le-le, hey-la-la,
Grab the ganzê,
Grab the ganzá.
Lady housewife,
Bring your child to sing
For the king who comes from afar
To be able to visit us.
Tonight no one cries,
And no one can cry
What beauty
The nobility that visits the gongá.
Hey-le-le, hey-la-la,
Grab the ganzê,
Grab the ganzá.
