Lyrics
Gongá
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.
Vim de longe, de um Reino de além do mar.
Vim marcado que nem o gado de lá,
Num porão de navio,
Sei de dor, fome, frio,
Sem poder nunca mais voltar.
Remo nas mãos,
Ferro nos pés,
Sangue riscando o olhar.
Vim nos grilhões,
Vim nas galés,
Eu vim da África.
Fui escravo, falar de açoites nem dá.
Meu lamento ainda ecoa no ar,
Mas quebrei a corrente,
Ninguém manda na gente,
Nunca mais ninguém vai mandar.
Sou meu senhor,
Meu dono e rei,
Na força de Oxalá.
Da minha cor
Me orgulharei,
Sempre, oh Mãe-África!
Negro, negro,
Mas não sou mais de lá.
Brasil já é meu gongá!
Negro, negro,
Mas não sou mais de lá.
Brasil já é meu gongá!
