Ó Paí, Ó

Hey sun as it sets
And covers the sea in copper
Hey the frevo being composed
Hey over there

Hey over here, hey in my eye
Hey me looking at you looking at me
Face the face of life
See blood on the avenue
Ijexá

Millions and each one is one
Millions and each one is alone

Hey father, hey father, hey
Hey father, hey

Hey father, hey father, hey
Hey father, hey

Hey the style of Ilê
See black in the VIP area
Hey the snake striking
Lamb of Oxumaré
See man being woman
Hey the universal church
Of the guerrilla Muzenza
See that whore

See that goddess from Rio
Came out of the television
Hey the power of the black man
Hey the line of the police
Hey the boys without a home
Hey the guys without a street
Hey the modesty of the moon
Lost behind the lighthouse
See what a mess

Hey father, hey father, hey
Hey father, hey
