Nega Neguinha

Nega nega neguinhaNega nega neguinhaNem Zumbi1 impedia você de ser minha

Mamãe minha mãe mainhaNa senzala minha salaTenho a proteção de Oxalá2Ânsia de Iansã3 rainhaSou o teu sinhô4 sinhá5Vem bater fazer iaiá6Um batuque na cozinha

'Se essa mulher fosse minhaEu ensinava ela a viverDava feijão com farinhaA semana todinhaPra ela comer'

Vem da capo capoeiraAo pé metade inteiraNo pelô7 meu pelo ouriçaMissa quimbanda8 poesiaAruandê aruandáVou cantando que cantarÉ uma carta de alforria

'A mulher é como cobraTem sangue de PeçonhaDeixa o rico na misériaDeixa o pobre sem vergonha'

Ex-cravo agora rosaCapacho do teu caprichoSamba lelê na lambadaRei do Congo na congada9A cara já é de dorDeixa ser teu SalvadorQueira ser minha Bahia

Zumbi tá lá na roda lá no jongoZumbi tá lá na roda lá no jongoBate palma Zumbi lá na quizumbaBate palma Zumbi batmacumba10

Girl

Girl, girl, little girlGirl, girl, little girlNot even Zumbi1 would stop you from being mine

Oh mom, my mom, my dear momIn the slave quarters, my roomI'm protected by Oxalá2Queen Iansan2's anxietyGirl, I am your manCome and clap, girlLet's make some drums in the kitchen

'If this girl were mineI would teach her how to liveI'd give her beans with flourAll week longFor her to eat'

She comes from the capoeira3On foot, a whole halfIn Pelourinho4, my hair is stirred upA mass, quimbanda5, poetryAruandê, arandáI'll sing becauseSinging is a letter of manumission6

'Women are like snakesThey have poison in their bloodThey make a rich man turn into a poor manThey make the poor man shameless'

The former carnation now is a roseThe subject of your whimsSamba, at the lambadaThe king of Congo is at the congada7He already has a painful look in his faceLet me be your saviorPlease want to be my Bahia

Zumbi is at the capoeira, at the jongo8Zumbi is at the capoeira, at the jongoClap your hands, Zumbi, at the messClap your hands, Zumbi, batmacumba9
