Eu vou

I'm gonna sail,
I'm taking a sailboat,
Know Luanda,
Know Benguela.

Sailing with gratitude
I’ll cross the whole sea
Old kingdom of Congo
Starting point of the slave ship

It was in southern Angola
Where it all went down
In the village of the Nugop's
Where the Nigolo was born.

I’m gonna check out Campinda
The village of the Congos
The Maiobi forest
That flows down the Lucongo River.

Angolan when I left
I took a handful of dirt in my hand
The seed of the Nigolo
Was planted in my nation.

Brazil is a blessed land
Everything that’s planted grows
The seed has matured
Capoeira Abadá.
