Negro de Luz

I don't have the strength
Just because I'm the first
And simply for being Ilê
The Quilombo of the black of light

Saluting the strength
Of all the quilombolas
Who fought bravely
To keep alive
Our history

Let's exalt the heroine Zeferina
Akotirene experience and knowledge
Aqualtune warrior black princess
Black Dandara queen of beauty
Ganga Zumba another great leader of ours
To all the people that the black race made worth

This quilombo that today completes 15 years
To the Quilombola leader grandpa of Ilê Aiyê
The black epic is narrated today
And the black choir Ilê Aiyê sings

King Zumbi D'Angola Djanga
King King Zumbi
King Zumbi D'Angola Djanga
King King Zumbi
King Zumbi D'Angola Djanga
King King Zumbi

Wood Ohhh
Wood Ohhh
Wood Ohhh

Let's exalt the heroine Zeferina

To the Quilombola leader grandpa of Ilê Aiyê
The black epic is narrated today
And the black choir Ilê Aiyê sings

King Zumbi D'Angola Djanga
King King Zumbi
King Zumbi D'Angola Djanga
King King Zumbi
King Zumbi D'Angola Djanga
King King Zumbi

Wood Ohhh

One hundred years without abolition
If it has to be, it will be yes!
We will make Palmares again
Let's write our true history
Zumbi didn't die!
He is alive in each one of us
Don't they see?
Don't they hear our cry for freedom?
Thank you, Zumbi!

Wood Ohhh
