Take it easy black, white don't come here
If they come, they'll get beaten
Take it easy black, white don't come here
If they come, they'll get beaten

The master is already sleeping
Black man wants to drum
Black man is having fun
In the morning he'll go to work

Take it easy black, white don't come here
If they come, they'll get beaten
Take it easy black, white don't come here
If they come, they'll get beaten

Black man moans every day
Black man gets beaten until he bleeds
Almost six in the evening
They make black man drum

Dressed up like a white woman
Throwing a mix of colors
Rainbow, coconut water
Come here, ilê aiyé, epahey
I want to see you sway
White foam at the corner of your mouth, crazy
Step, laugh, strong step
Lucky tooth
Survivor tooth powder from the north

Crazy coconut
Wild animal, elf
Drugged smile, long view
No nonsense, bonga in the dance
Innocent child, tell me what you feel
The rage is a tooth
Or in the captivating beat of Miami
Or I told you the sorrow in the old man's chest
Health is capricious
Oh, it swings but doesn't fall

The wind blows but doesn't fall
Raft together, the wind blows but doesn't fall
Raft together, the wind blows but doesn't fall
Raft together, the wind blows but doesn't fall

Take it easy black, white don't come here
If they come, they'll get beaten
Take it easy black, white don't come here
If they come, they'll get beaten
Take it easy black, white don't come here
If they come, they'll get beaten
Take it easy black, white don't come here
If they come, they'll get beaten

The chains are rattling
The breeze is shaking
Fresh blood is flowing
And the black man is drumming
