bumba lyrics

We tha land of carnival and murder
Bring tha drums and the sounding of thunder
Oh my people we got to get stronger
With the spirit of war in quilombos

Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power

Bring our roots we're under the sun
From in the jungle and from the slums
Our freedom we bring with this song
Never forget where you came from

Bumba bumba

Oxossi open my way
I'm gonna tell the world what you say
I know God making me a way
We pray we pray we pray everyday

Ele e caboclo ele e flecheiro bumba na calunga he is land's owner he is archer
E matador de feiticeiro bumba na calunga he is killer and witch
Ele vai firmar seu ponto bumba na calunga he will assure his point
E vai firmar na angola he will assure in angola
Bumba na calunga e na fe de oxala bumba in the calunga and in the faith in oxalá
Bumba na calunga he is archer
Ponto de coboclo sete flechas / t e p j da c
