Bruca Maniguá

I am Carabalí,
black by nation.
Without freedom
I can't live.

Mundele cabá,
with my heart,
so mistreated,
body all furious.

Mundele cumba floating
always in trouble.
It's been a long time,
that I endure
always mistreated.

Yane was
lips of buirí (x2)

chorus Yenyere Bruca Maniguá.

Open the buirindingo
Bruca Maniguá Ae.

If I swear suaro suare
Bruca Maniguá Ae.

chorus Ae, Chéchere
Bruca Maniguá.

Like a straight store
Bruca Maniguá Ae.

One step, one step
Ubbe Yobolle Ila
Bruca Maniguá Ae.

Already yorrucu mandengo,
Bruca Maniguá Ae.

I am Carabalí, I am Mandinga
I want my freedom Ae.

Congo has teremende,
Bruca Maniguá Ae.

That black woman
Deceives me,
Bruca Maniguá Ae. (x2)
