Full lyrics
Lá nas terras de onde eu vim
Corre um rio de suor de quem trabalha ali
Tem guerriero, tem festejo, tem congada
O pé enfiado na lama
A casaca na mão pro sol levantar
Lá do alto venha fé
Da lama vem o pão
Sou veloz como aratu
Sou forte como guaiamum
Esperto como uguruça
Nobre como siriaçu
Do mar tiro o alimento
Da lama o complimento
E da areia o butigão
Dos tambor as batidas do coração
Som da penha, som do mar
Do mangue, do ribeirão
Sou a vida, sou maratimba
Capixaba de devoção
Pros festetjos de alegria
Nessa festa de baião
Salve minha nossa senhora
Sob a sua proteção
Salve a festa
Salve o povo
Salve a nós do lubião
Translation
In the lands where I come from
A river of sweat runs from those who work there
There's a warrior, there's a celebration, there's congada
Feet stuck in the mud
The jacket in hand for the sun to rise
From above comes faith
From the mud comes bread
I'm as fast as a crab
I'm as strong as a mangrove crab
As clever as a hermit crab
As noble as a siri crab
From the sea I take food
From the mud, the compliment
And from the sand, the jug
From the drum, the heartbeats
Sound of the rock, sound of the sea
From the mangrove, from the stream
I am life, I am maratimba
Capixaba of devotion
For the celebrations of joy
In this baião party
Hail my Our Lady
Under your protection
Hail the party
Hail the people
Hail us from Lubião
