Eu Vim de Angola

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

Hey master, I come from afar
From my homeland
In my suitcase I brought longing
And in my hand my berimbau

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

I am a simple capoeira
I don't know where I'll end up
To the master I ask permission
To play in this roda

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

I came from Angola hey hey
I came from Angola ah ah

Hey who taught me
Was a black slave
Who ran away to not die
Worked night and day
To enrich his master

I came from Angola
I came from Angola

I came from Angola
I came from Angola

Hey sometimes I miss
My people in Angola
Only the capoeira game
And the berimbau console me

I came from Angola
I came from Angola

I came from Angola
I came from Angola

Hey I'm a capoeira player
I'm a poet singer
In my mind I carry memories
And longing for my love

I came from Angola
I came from Angola

I came from Angola
I came from Angola
