Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Bate o sino na calunga

The bell rings in the cemetery

E sopra o vento na madrugada

And the wind blows in the dawn

As almas enfileiradas

The souls in a line

Pedem maleime a Atotô

Ask for blessings from Atotô


É hora grande lá na calunga

It's a big moment there in the cemetery

Estala osso e geme catacumba

Bones crack and tombs groan

Reluz no clarão da lua

It gleams in the moonlight

A foice do guardião

The guardian's scythe

E nas doze badaladas

And at the twelve strokes

Dá gargalhada e abre o portão

Laughs and opens the gate


É a procissão das almas que vai passar

It's the procession of souls passing by

É Tatá Caveira quem vai guiar

Tatá Caveira is the one leading

As almas perdidas pra se encontrar

The lost souls to find themselves

As almas benditas para Oxalá

The blessed souls for Oxalá
