Aidê Negra Africana

Aidê was a black African woman
There was magic in his singing
He had greenish eyes
And he knew how to cook
Little Sinhozinho was delighted
And he wanted to marry Aidê
But I said: Help, don't get married
Go to the quilombo to free yourself, Aidê

Run away to camugerê

In the Camugerê quilombo
Freedom Aidê found
He joined the black brothers
Discovered a great love
Today Aidê sings smiling
She speaks with much praise
Freedom is priceless
The black man knows who freed you, Aidê

Run away to camugerê

Little master who said then
I'm going to end the quilombo
If Aidê doesn't marry me
She can't marry anyone, Aidê

Run away to camugerê

Arriving in Camugerê
Little Sinho was surprised
The black man showed an art
That developed in the slave quarters
The black man won the battle
And in the quilombo, sinhozinho died, Aidê
Run away to camugerê
