NÊGO NAGÔ

Nêgo Nagô chegou das matas

Com legião, lança de luz em sua mão

Trouxe paz e harmonia,

Muito amor no coração

Viveu na terra como um escravo

Sem igualdade, amor e fraternidade

Nos maltratos da senzala,

Sofria com humildade

Tambores, danças na batucada

Canto dolente expressando a saudade

Longe da terra nativa,

Sonhava com a liberdade

Louvou a paz rogou justiça

Com atabaque, dançava o maracatu,

Saudava Pai Oxalá,

Saudava mamãe Oxum

Hoje é no alto Ser luminoso

Força que chega flutuante de esplendor

É trabalhador no espaço

Do astral superior

Nêgo Nagô arrived from the woods

With a legion, spear of light in his hand

He brought peace and harmony,

Much love in his heart

He lived on earth as a slave

Without equality, love and brotherhood

In the mistreatments of the slave quarters,

He suffered with humility

Drums, dances in the drumming

A mournful chant expressing the longing

Far from his native land,

He dreamed of freedom

He praised peace, begged for justice

With the atabaque, he danced the maracatu,

He greeted Father Oxalá,

He greeted mother Oxum

Today he is on high a luminous Being

A force that arrives floating with splendor

He is a worker in the space

Of the higher astral
