Tranca Rua Exu Odara

Your tranca rua
He is a friendly exu
Your tranca rua
He is my protector
With his cape he protects me from dangers
Keeping enemies away wherever I go

There at the crossroads he has his dwelling
To tranca ruas I demonstrate my faith
And at midnight when the bell tolls
With his laughter I receive his axé

Tranca rua what he is
Exu odara
Tranca rua what he is
Worker
Ogum's ordinance
Wins battles
With tranca rua I am always a winner

In the early morning the drums keep playing
To Exu we salute
A Laroiê!
At this moment I hear his response
It is your tranca rua that I come to attend to me

Tranca rua what he is
Exu odara
Tranca rua what he is
Worker
Ogum's ordinance
Wins battles
With tranca rua I am always a winner
