Negrume da Noite
Virgínia Rodrigues
Darkness of the Night
The darkness of the night
Shone the day
The ebony profile
That blackness created
Built a universe of beauty
Exploring through the black race
That's why the black fought
The black fought
And ended up envied
And became consecrated
Ilê Ilê Aiyê
You are the lord
Of this great nation
And today the blacks cry out
Blessing Blessing Blessing
Odé Comorodé odé
Odé Arerê
Odé Comorodé odé
Odé Arerê
