Cantiga Maria Mulambo Lyrics Translation in English
Ekedy Joice
Portuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Não era meia noite
It wasn't midnight
Era quase meio dia
It was almost noon
Cemitério estava cheio
The cemetery was full
De longe ela surgia
From afar, she emerged
O padre rezava
The priest was praying
E o defunto remexia
And the deceased was stirring
Santo antônio que me livre
St. Anthony, save me
Da sua feitiçaria
From your witchcraft
Era vela acesa
There was a lit candle
Cabrito na encruzilhada
A goat in the crossroads
As almas gemia
The souls were moaning
E ela dava gargalhada
And she laughed
Quem com ferro fere
He who strikes with iron
Com ferro será ferido
Will be struck with iron
A maior da traição
The greatest betrayal
É quando vem de um grande amigo
Is when it comes from a great friend
Mandaram pra mim
They sent the owl to me
A coruja me visitar
To visit me
Eu chamei Maria mulambo
I called Maria Mulambo
Para me ajudar
To help me
A mulambo mandou
Mulambo ordered
A coruja ir embora
The owl to leave
A coruja foi morar
The owl went to live
Aonde o falso amigo mora
Where the false friend lives
Ela é Maria
She is Maria
Ela é Maria Maria
She is Maria Maria
Ela é Maria Maria
She is Maria Maria
Ela é Maria Maria
She is Maria Maria
Maria mulambo
Maria Mulambo
Ela é Maria Maria
She is Maria Maria
