Ponto de Exu - Um Grande Amigo, João Caveira

I found a great friend
At the cemetery gate
And I went to ask him
About a very serious matter

He hit my chest
Said 'it's settled'
If you mess with João Caveira
You're messing with the devil

Hail, hail
Laroiê, mojubá
I go to the calunga to greet
All the Caveiras' phalanx

Hail, hail
Laroiê, mojubá
Hail the people who work
And don't come to play
