Ponto de Exu (Tiriri) - Festa de Tiriri

It's midnight sharp
And the rooster crowed
It's midnight sharp
And the rooster crowed

He crowed to announce
That Tiriri has arrived
He crowed to announce
That Tiriri has arrived

He comes from Calunga
With a cape, top hat, and trident in hand
This faithful Exu
Brings us blessings
And gives us protection

He is Exu Odara
And comes to help us
With his dagger
He pierces
He cuts demands
He saves, he heals
Exu is Mojubá

Alaroiê, Exu
Exu is Mojubá
I asked him
What is Exu
He came to tell me

Exu is the path
Is energy
Is life
Is determination
Is the enforcer of the law
Exu is clever
Exu is guardian

Exu is work
Is swift joy
Exu is to live
Is magic
Is enchantment
Is fire
Is blood in the veins vibrating
Exu is pleasure

Alaroiê Exu
Exu is Mojubá
