English Translation

Upa neguinho na estrada

Upa, little one, on the road

Upa pra lá e pra cá

Upa back and forth

Vixi, que coisa mais linda

Oh my, what a beautiful thing

Upa neguinho começando a andar

Upa, little one, starting to walk

Upa neguinho na estrada

Upa, little one, on the road

Upa pra lá e pra cá

Upa back and forth

Vixi, que coisa mais linda

Oh my, what a beautiful thing

Upa neguinho começando a andar

Upa, little one, starting to walk

Começando a andar, começando a andar

Starting to walk, starting to walk

E já começa a apanhar

And already starting to get spanked


Cresce neguinho me abraça

Grow, little one, hug me

Cresce me ensina a cantar

Grow, teach me to sing

Eu vim de tanta desgraça mas muito eu te posso ensinar

I came from so much misery, but I can teach you a lot


Capoeira, posso ensinar

Capoeira, I can teach

Ziquizira, posso tirar

Trouble, I can dispel

Valentia, posso emprestar

Bravery, I can lend

Liberdade só posso esperar

Freedom, I can only hope for
