Esperança de ser livre
Mestre Barrão
Hope of being free
Black slave
Was caught fleeing from the slave quarters
Running in the sugarcane fields
Captured by the overseer
Who tied him to the trunk
And the brave warrior shouted
Suddenly a voice echoed
They killed King Zumbi
So the news arrived
And the warrior
Who never cried
On that day he cried
Hey
Oh brave and strong warrior
Didn't believe in luck
Wasn't afraid of death when the event happened
With the news that came from afar
Saying that King Zumbi died
And the warrior tied to the trunk
Prayed to God for protection
Looking up, he lamented
Still crying, he spoke
Oh they killed King Zumbi, the hope of being free ended
Oh brave warrior cried
Hey cry cry
And the brave warrior cried
Oh brave warrior cried
Hey cry cry
And the brave warrior cried
Oh brave warrior cried
Hey cry cry
And the brave warrior cried
Oh brave and strong warrior
Didn't believe in luck
Wasn't afraid of death when the event happened
With the news that came from afar
Saying that King Zumbi died
And the warrior tied to the trunk
Prayed to God for protection
Looking up, he lamented
Still crying, he said
Oh they killed King Zumbi, the hope of being free ended
