Ogum (feat. Jorge Ben Jor)
I
Am a Zulu descendant
I am a soldier of Ogum
Devoted to this immense legion of Jorge
I
Syncretized in faith
I am filled with axé
And protected by a noble knight
Yes, I go to church to celebrate my protector
And thank for being one more winner
In struggles, in battles
Yes, I go to the temple to beat my drum
I bow my head and affirm my point, yes, sir
I sing to Ogum, Ogum
(Ogum) a brave warrior
Who takes care of people who suffer too much
(Ogum) he comes from Aruanda
He overcomes the demands of those who do
(Ogum) knight of the sky, faithful squire
Messenger of peace
(Ogum)
(Ogum) he never wavers
He takes the spear, he kills the dragon
(Ogum) he gives confidence
For a child to become a lion
(Ogum) is a sea of hope
That brings calm to my heart
(Ogum)

God ahead, peace and guide
I commend myself to God and the Virgin Mary, my mother
The 12 apostles, my brothers
I will walk on this day and this night
With my body surrounded, watched and protected
By the weapons of Saint George
Saint George joined the cavalry
I am happy, because I am also part of his company
I am dressed in the clothes and weapons of Jorge
So that my enemies have feet and do not reach me
Have hands and do not catch me, do not touch me
Have eyes and do not see me
And not even in thought can they have to harm me
Firearms will not reach my body
Knives and spears break if they touch my body
Ropes and chains break without tying my body
For I am dressed in the clothes and weapons of Jorge
Jorge is from Cappadocia
Hail, Jorge
