Nem Ouro, Nem Prata

I saw it rain, I saw lightning
But even so, the sky was blue
Samborê pemba, jurema leaf
Oxóssi reigns from north to south

I saw it rain, I saw lightning
But even so, the sky was blue
Samborê pemba, jurema leaf
Oxóssi reigns from north to south

I'm a cheerful Brazilian
Mixed race, mulatto
There's neither gold, nor silver
The samba that bleeds from my heart

Your colored girl
Piece of good affection
I entered your step, sly
I'm not like that Conceição

Enough of exalting this thing called longing
My dark-skinned caboclo, mulatto
Amulet of our Brazil
Look, my beautiful black man
I want you, I promise, I like you
Forever in the samba-song
At the first whistle of the year 2000

Look, my beautiful black man
I want you, I promise, I like you
Forever in the samba-song
At the first whistle of the year 2000

I saw it rain, I saw lightning
But even so, the sky was blue
Samborê pemba, jurema leaf
Oxóssi reigns from north to south
