English Translation

Seu Zé pelintra, me diz o que o senhor sabe

Mr. Zé Pelintra, tell me what you know

Seu Zé pelintra, me diz o que eu preciso saber

Mr. Zé Pelintra, tell me what I need to know


Mesmo que eu não mereça

Even if I don't deserve it

Que eu jogue o jogo e vença

That I play the game and win


Lá vem ele descendo a ladeira á

Here he comes down the slope

No pé ele é bamba, ele nunca se engana!

On his feet, he's skilled, he never makes mistakes!

Sinta a sua gargalhada e vai entender

Feel his laughter and you'll understand

Ele nunca desampara, vai estar sempre com você!

He never forsakes, he'll always be with you!


De chapéu de lado, não vá o desmerecer

With his hat to the side, don't underestimate him

Pai Ogum trouxe da rua para te proteger

Father Ogum brought him from the street to protect you


Ô saravá dono da rua, a te proteger!

Oh, saravá master of the street, to protect you!

Ô saravá a malandragem, a te proteger!

Oh, saravá to the trickery, to protect you!
