Watch this song on youtube

Vim no balanço do mar la de Angola
Vim no balanço do mar la da Guiné
Vim no balanço do mar de Mozambique
Só quem veio sabe como é

Vim no balanço do mar la de Angola
Vim no balanço do mar la da Guiné
Vim no balanço do mar de Mozambique
Só quem veio sabe como é

Vim no navio negreiro
Com uma corrente no pé
Trabalhar como escravo
Na colheita do café

Vim no balanço do mar la de Angola
Vim no balanço do mar la da Guiné
Vim no balanço do mar de Mozambique
Só quem veio sabe como é

Hoje sou negro liberto
A escravidão acabou
Hoje eu sinto saudades

Da terra que la ficou

Vim no balanço do mar la de Angola
Vim no balanço do mar la da Guiné
Vim no balanço do mar de Mozambique
Só quem veio sabe como é

I came on the waves of the sea from Angola
I came on the waves of the sea from Guinea
I came on the waves of the sea from Mozambique
Only those who came know how that is

I came on the waves of the sea from Angola
I came on the waves of the sea from Guinea
I came on the waves of the sea from Mozambique
Only those who came know how that is

I came on a slave boat
With a chain on my foot
To work as a slave
In the coffee harvest

I came on the waves of the sea from Angola
I came on the waves of the sea from Guinea
I came on the waves of the sea from Mozambique
Only those who came know how that is

Today I am a free man
The slavery has ended
Today I miss
The land that I left behind

I came on the waves of the sea from Angola
I came on the waves of the sea from Guinea
I came on the waves of the sea from Mozambique
Only those who came know how that is
