Xangô, O Vencedor!

Xangô, The Winner!

Xangô, O Vencedor!

Behind that mountain,Por detrás daquela serra,
There's a beautiful waterfall!Tem uma linda cachoeira!
It's from my father Xangô!É de meu pai Xangô!
Who broke seven quarries!Que arrebentou sete pedreiras!

It was water born in the spring and thorn in the flower!Foi água nascendo na fonte e espinho na flor!
From his hidden fear was born the courage to be a winner.Do seu medo escondido nasceu a coragem de ser vencedor.
Dagger in hand, in the chest a more faithful shield,Punhal na mão, no peito um escudo mais fiel,
from whom on earth conceived the sky!de quem na terra concebeu o céu!

There are seven quarries that he learned to break,São sete pedreiras que ele aprendeu a quebrar,
in the spark of fury, in the lightning of rain in the moonlight!na faísca da furia, no raio da chuva à luz do luar!
He washed his body with the bitter wine of sweat,Lavou o corpo com o vinho amargo do suor,
and made from his own good, of all evils, perhaps the smallest!e fez do proprio bem, de todos os males, talvez o menor!
