Bumba Lyrics

Soulfly Bumba

We the land of carnival and murder
Bring tha drums and the sounding of thunder
Oh my people, we got to get stronger
With the spirit of war in "Quilombus"
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power
Bring our roots, we're under the sun
From in the jungle and from the the slums
Our freedom we bring with this song
Never forget where you came from!
Bumba! Bumba!
"Oxossi" - open my way
I'm gonna tell the world what you say...
I know "God"  - making me a way...
We pray, we pray, we pray everyday...
"Ele e caboclo, ele e flecheiro - Bumba na calunga
E matador de feitceiro - Bumba na calunga
Ele vai firmar seu ponto - Bumba na calunga
E vai firmar na angola
Bumba na calunga e na fe de Oxala
Bumba na calunga..."
(Ponto de coboclo sete flechas/T.E.P.J. da C.)
