Afoxoque

Afoxoque

Afoxoque

If they're talking about meSe me andam a falar
In freedomNa liberdade
That smells goodIsso cheira bem
Smells like pepperCheira pimenta
Word that burns mePalavra que me arde
Inside my mouthDentro da boca
Tongue that sparksLíngua que faísca
Like an axeComo um machado

Double-edged axe that's the same on both sidesMachado de dois gumes que é igual pros dois lados
Strikes the axe that's the same on both sidesBate o machado que é igual pros dois lados

Afoxoque heyAfoxoque ê

What, what, what?Quê, quê, quê?
AfoxoqueAfoxoque
What, what, what?Quê, quê, quê?

And what gives me strengthE o que me dá força
Is the word of good that comes out of the mouthÉ a palavra do bem que sai da boca
Word of those with loose tonguesPalavra de quem tem língua solta
Makes it count in this songFaz valer nesse canto
Every drop of bloodCada gota de sangue
I'll go to the sea, I'll go to the mangroveVou lá no mar, vou no mangue
For every drop of bloodPor cada gota de sangue
I'll go to the sea, I'll go to the mangroveVou lá no mar, vou no mangue
For every drop of bloodPor cada gota de sangue

I'll drink the boozeVou beber do mé
I'll sleep in the seaVou dormir no mar
I'll eat from loveVou comer do amor
I'll sing afoxéVou cantar afoxé
I'll stomp my footVou bater meu pé
For my amuletPra meu patuá
To protect me in this warMe proteger nessa guerra
I'll go to the sea, I'll go to the mangroveVou lá no mar, vou no mangue
For every drop of bloodPor cada gota de sangue
I'll go to the sea, I'll go to the mangroveVou lá no mar, vou no mangue
For every drop of bloodPor cada gota de sangue
