Revolta da Chibata
Tonho Matéria
Revolt of the Whip
Samba in the sea, samba in the sea sailor
Samba in the sea sailor and come play camaraderie
An important social movement that happened
Was the revolt of the whip there in Rio de Janeiro
Led by João Cândido the Black Admiral of the corps
Who only asked for an end to violence against his brothers
One day on a ship Marcelino Rodrigues was punished
Receiving several lashes which was a thing of the past
The government pretended to solve it, but it wasn't like that
The sailors revolted and that's how the whole fuse started
Wake up, get up, here comes the beating
Sailors fighting in the middle of Guanabara
Wake up, get up, here comes the beating
Blacks are dodging the lashes
Wake up, get up, here comes the beating
It's the sea dragon seeking peace
Wake up, get up, here comes the beating
On Snake Island I won't return
