Homenagem Aos Orixás

Dandara, Dandara
Black favorite maid of Ganga Zumba

For breaking the chains
The blacks performed their rituals
In the form of offerings
In homage to the Orixás

There at Engenho Santa Cruz
There at Rio Panacauera-Miri
Big house and slave quarters
All of this existed around there

The blacks danced the Jongo
With the maids with sensuality
For the goddess of divinity
For the dreamed freedom
Hey hey hey hey

I am Zizi Zuzu from Quibamba
Dudu Calunga Maid
Delê Ogum de Naná
Mother of the waters from overseas

From Angola came Olodum
For Ioiô Iaiá dances
Dunga chief of Aruanda
Santa Bárbara lansã
Iabá lady of the forest
Caximi mermaid of the sea
Aruanda is a beautiful sky
Where the Orixás live
