Bate o bango
Bate o bangue
Salve o terreiro do acarajé
Bate o bango
Bate o bangue
Oh salve o pai orixá
Eu venho da Aluanda
E trago Liamba do lado de lá
Ai Luanda, Luanda
Saravá, Saravá
Oh salve o pai orixá
Bate o bango
Bate o bangue
Ogum dilé
Salve o terreiro da bom saravá
Ai Luanda, Luanda
Saravá, Saravá
Oi eu vou defumar
O terreiro e o canto
Pra baixar o santo
Meu pai orixá
Ai Luanda, Luanda
Saravá, Saravá
Translation
Beat the bango
Beat the bangue
Hail the terreiro of acarajé
Beat the bango
Beat the bangue
Oh, hail the father Orixá
I come from Aluanda
And bring Liamba from over there
Oh Luanda, Luanda
Saravá, Saravá
Oh, hail the father Orixá
Beat the bango
Beat the bangue
Ogum dilé
Hail the terreiro of good saravá
Oh Luanda, Luanda
Saravá, Saravá
Oh, I will smudge
The terreiro and the corner
To bring down the spirit
My father Orixá
Oh Luanda, Luanda
Saravá, Saravá
