Look what I got myself intoVeja vocês o que eu fui arrumar
But there's one thingMas tem uma coisa
I'll never go there againEu nunca mais vou lá

I walked the whole nightAndei a noite inteira
Getting covered in dustLevando poeira
It was bitterFoi de amargar
Only in the early morning did I arrive thereSó de madrugada foi que eu cheguei lá
At that yard in ItacuruçáNo tal terreiro de Itacuruçá

Upon arriving at the yardAo chegar no terreiro
A certain assistant came to talk to meUm tal de cambono veio me falar
First, sir, you have to go to the altarPrimeiro o senhor tem que ir no congá
