Canto de Xangô
Vinicius de Moraes
Chant of Xangô
I came from far away, I came, I don't even know where I came from anymore
I am a son of a king, I fought hard to be who I am
I am black in color but everything is just love in me
Everything is just love, for me
Xangô Agodô
Today is a time for love
Today is a time for pain, in me
Xangô Agodô
Hail, Xangô, my King Lord
Hail my Orixá
His color has seven shades
Seven days for us to love
Hail Xangô, my King Lord
Hail my Orixá
His color has seven shades
Seven days for us to love
But to love is to suffer
But to love is to die of pain
Xangô, my Lord, saravá!
Make me suffer
Ah make me die
But make me die of love
Xangô, my Lord, saravá!
Xangô agodô
