Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Povo guerreiro, bate tambor

Warrior people, beat the drum

Comemora a liberdade

Celebrate freedom

Mas a igualdade não chegou

But equality has not arrived


Nossos ancestrais

Our ancestors

Lutaram pela liberdade

Fought for freedom

Contra tudo e contra todos

Against everything and everyone

O negro nunca foi covarde

The black was never cowardly

Fugiu das senzalas

Escaped from the slave quarters

Refugiou se nos quilombos

Found refuge in the quilombos

Conquistou a liberdade

Conquered freedom

Mas em busca da igualdade

But in the pursuit of equality

Ainda sofre alguns tombos

Still faces some setbacks


No pós liberdade

In the post-freedom

O negro foi marginalizado

The black was marginalized

Teve a alma aprisionada

Had the soul imprisoned

Com as algemas da desigualdade

With the chains of inequality

Hoje refugiado em favelas

Today, sheltered in slums

Onde a vida tem suas mazelas

Where life has its woes

Combate a miséria, o preconceito e a adversidade

Fights against poverty, prejudice, and adversity

A igualdade e o respeito

Equality and respect

Mais do que anseios

More than aspirations

Também são necessidades

Are also necessities
