Eu vim pela mata eu vinha
Eu vim pela mata escura
Eu vi seu Maculelê
No clarear, no clarear da lua
Eu vim, pela mata eu vinha
Eu vim pela mata escura
Eu vi seu Maculelê
No clarear, no clarear da lua
I came through the bush I came
I came through the dark bush
I saw its Maculelê
At the shining, at the shining of the moon
I came through the bush I came
I came through the dark bush
I saw its Maculelê
At the shining, at the shining of the moon
