Milagres do Povo
Caetano Veloso
Miracles of the People
Who is atheist and saw miracles like me
Knows that the gods without God
Do not cease to sprout, nor tire of waiting
And the heart that is sovereign and that is lord
Does not fit in slavery, does not fit in your no
Does not fit in itself from so much yes
It's pure dance and sex and glory
And hovers beyond history
Ojuobá went there and saw
Ojuobahia
Xangô sends for, Obatalá guides
Mamãe Oxum cries tearjoy
Petals of Iemanjá Iansã-Oiá went
Ojuobá went there and saw
Ojuobahia
Obá
It's in the xaréu that shines the silver light of the sky
And the black people understood that the great winner
Rises beyond the pain
Everything arrived survivor on a ship
Who discovered Brazil?
It was the black who saw the cruelty right in front
And still produced miracles of faith in the far west
Ojuobá went there and saw
Ojuobahia
Xangô sends for, Obatalá guides
Mamãe Oxum cries tearjoy
Petals of Iemanjá Iansã-Oiá went
Ojuobá went there and saw
Ojuobahia
Obá
Who is atheist
