João do Morro
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.
Eu vi um menino jogando capoeira
Para transformar o povo de um lugar
Esse menino ele não é brincadeira
Ele é raiz de Besouro Mangangá
Ê João se você for embora o morro chora
Ê João você é um menino quilombola
Ele tem mandinga ê ele tem mandinga
Peço a Zumbi, Ganga-Zumba, N’zanga e Kunta Kintê
Para proteger o menino de ouro capoeira
Da volta ao mundo que mundo da vida concebeu
Como destino para iluminar os filhos de Deus
