Agô kelofé, kaô kabiecile

Agô kelofé, kaô kabiecile


Vamos lá na pedreira ver vovô

Let's go to the quarry to see grandpa

Vamos lá na pedreira ver vovô

Let's go to the quarry to see grandpa

Aquicó no terreiro já cantou

Aquicó in the yard has already sung

Ebô mina mina ebô

Ebó mina mina ebó


Oberi meu obé que tu levou

You took my obé away

Oberi meu obé que tu levou

You took my obé away

Fosse Ogum fosse Ogum que apanhou

If it were Ogum, if it were Ogum who got hurt

Pra matar aquicó cocorocô

To kill Aquicó cocorocô


Vamos lá na pedreira ver vovô

Let's go to the quarry to see grandpa

Vamos lá na pedreira ver vovô

Let's go to the quarry to see grandpa

Aquicó no terreiro já cantou

Aquicó in the yard has already sung

Ebô mina mina ebô

Ebó mina mina ebó


E cadê o aquicó que tu matou

And where is the Aquicó that you killed

E cadê meu garapa de ebó

And where is my garapa of ebó

Vai no mato apanhar mais quimbombo

Go to the woods to get more okra

Vou fazer um amalá bom pra Xangô

I'll make a good amalá for Xangô


Vamos lá na pedreira ver vovô

Let's go to the quarry to see grandpa

Vamos lá na pedreira ver vovô

Let's go to the quarry to see grandpa

Aquicó no terreiro já cantou

Ebô mina mina ebô

Ebó mina mina ebó


Você vai lá no mato ver guiné

You go to the woods to see the guinea hen

Você vai lá no mato ver guiné

You go to the woods to see the guinea hen

Olha o toco no caminho, levanta o pé

Watch the stump on the path, lift your foot

Olha o toco no caminho, levanta o pé

Watch the stump on the path, lift your foot
