Esperança de um Povo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Num canto envolvente
Vão meus sentimentos, levar a tristeza
Num ego expresso vejo o Ilê Aiye
Símbolo da raça negra
Revolta dos Búzios
História passada
Deixaram Marcas em Salvador
E o povo bahianense
Leu o boletim dos revolucionários
Homens cidadãos
Oh! Povos curvados
E abandonados pelo rei
O rei de Portugal
João de Deus, bravo guerreiro
Morreu enforcado, foi esquartejado
Por ser líder negro
A esperança de um povo
Que vivesse num mundo melhor
Liberdade, igualdade, respeito
Eu quero direito sem o preconceito
Liberta eu
Liberta eu não quero sofrer mais não
Estou na beira do abismo correndo perigo
Cadê minha libertação
