Preta (part. Seu Jorge)

I'm black
I bring the light that comes from the night
All my saints
Can also help you

Just look at me to see
Why the moon shines
Just look at me to see
That I'm black from Bahia

I have life in the chest of vivid colors
In my blood, palm oil mixed
I have the fire of the sweat of the wanderers
And the patience of the best hunter

I'm black
I go towards joy
My fantasy is to show who I am
I came from Pirajá singing to Oxalá
To show the color of Salvador's alá

I'm black, mother of the night, sister of the day
I'm from the enchanting Afro Procession
Child of Ilê Ayê, Ghandi Mestre Pastinha my love
I'll mix what God didn't mix

A black embrace
A black smile
Brings happiness
A black without a job
Is restless
Black is the root of freedom

Black is a color of respect
Black is inspiration
Black is silence, is mourning
Black is loneliness

Black who was once a slave
Black is the voice of truth
Black is silence, is the fight
Black is also longing

It started with slavery.
Where all the sacrifice was on the back of the black man
Today everything has changed and the black man is aware.
Looking for a better future considered.
Respect love dignity attitude.
Work money citizenship and health.
And for our country integration.
And for our people peace and unity.
Black.
