Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

De tanto andar pelo mundo todo

From so much walking around the whole world

Aprendi coisas do fundo grande

I learned things from the deep

Do que vi, do que não vi

From what I saw, from what I didn't see

Do que vejo, que não vejo

From what I see, that I don't see


Cada dia no meu canto

Every day in my corner

Tenho um outro encantamento

I have another enchantment

Cada coisa no meu canto

Every thing in my corner

Tem um outro fundamento

Has another foundation

E cada dia na minha cara

And every day on my face

Um pouco de cada tempo

A little bit of each time

Cada dia na minha cara

Every day on my face

Um pouco de cada tempo

A little bit of each time


Bate com o pé na pedra

Hit your foot on the stone

Bate na pedra preta

Hit the black stone

Quem bate com pé firme e forte

Who hits with a firm and strong foot

Não tem medo de careta (2x)

Is not afraid of grimace (2x)


Oi, nessa mata tem flores

Hey, in this forest there are flowers

Os olhos do Saci

The eyes of Saci

Pula com suas dores

Jumps with its pains

Gentis com seus amores

Kind with its loves

Os cantos da caapora

The songs of Caipora

E os orixás que nos acudam

And may the orixás assist us

Que nos valham nessa hora (2x)

May they help us at this time (2x)
