Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Eu quero a festa bonita

I want the beautiful party

Da moça que canta Na roda de santo

Of the girl who sings in the sacred circle

De búzio, espelho, guizo e conta

With cowrie shells, mirror, rattle, and beads

Amor de touca na toca de tocaia

Love with a cap in the hideout of ambush


Beira da saia da sereia

On the edge of the mermaid's skirt

Que o vento na praia de Ponta de Areia

That the wind on the beach of Ponta de Areia

Na Lua meia beija e balança

In the half-moon kisses and sways

O couro com fome come egbomi

The hungry leather eats egbomi


E some na dança do mar de Olokun

And disappears in the dance of the sea of Olokun

Ê obaladê ê rum

Ê obaladê ê rum

Eu quero a paz do Ojé de Egum

I want the peace of the Ojé de Egum
