Os brancos obrigaram os negros e índios a construir. Eles não moveram um dedo para formar a cultura negra ou indígena, apenas excluem elas e se alimentam quando necessário.
I heard this song for the first time in september 2022, but i forgot the titIe. I have spent the last two years trying to find this. Finally found it today.
Translation Meu pai vem de Aruanda e a nossa mãe é Iansã My father comes from Aruanda (Heaven/Paradise), and our mother is Iansã (a title of the goddess Oyá, "mother of the evening") Ô, gira, deixa a gira girar Ô, Gira, let Gira "Spin" (here we have a "joke" in relation to the sound and that alludes to several aspects of the Afro-Brazilian cult, mainly Candomblé: "Ô, Gira" refers to Pomba Gira, corruption of the Bantu deity, Pambu "Njila", the Nkisi who acts as an intermediary between living/earthly beings and other gods/deities (Pomba Gira is also in Umbanda, but is a female spiritual entity who has already had an earthly life and who comes to advise and help those who are still incarnated), "Deixa a Gira", Gira here refers to the spiritual current/chain, the cult, that is happening at the present moment. "Girar" in Portuguese means "Spin", but in this sense it is a request for the deity or entity to help the cult to happen and for it to be answered. Deixa a gira girar Let the gira spins Saravá, Iansã Hail, Iansã (Mother of the evening) É Xangô e Iemanjá, iê It's Xangô/Sango (God of Justice) and Iemanjá/Yemaya/Yemoja (Goddess of Water, Mother of "all heads", normally associated with the sea in Brasil) Deixa a gira girar Let gira spins Zambi, rô, Zambi God, please (interjection/calling), God Zambi na qua tê sá The "God" that is here (Nzambi/Zambi is the deity of creation) Baquice, baquice, batabaquice de Orixá Drumming, drumbeat of the Orishas (the Orishas are invoked through their sacred sounds of drums) Kylê ibai, toté de maiungá Greetings to the "house" (temple), rite of Maiungá (Maiunga/Maionga is a bath that is done for the purification of the person who is starting in the cult) Xê cumarô loxê kulundu loxê keto tá sôto I greet with respect, I praise the sacred Atotô, Oba, ê "Silence", Lord/King, "so be it" (Atotô is greeting made for the deity Obaluae/Obaluaye -> "Oba" is a title that means Lord or King; "Olu", means Ruler; Aye means World, Earth, Life , the one who brings cure and healing, but also diseases. Also known in Brasil as Omolu) ***This part refers to a prayer (with approximate translation), it is done mainly in Kikongo. In Candomble (and also in Umbanda) there was influence firstly from the beliefs of the Bantu people, only later there were syncretisms with Yoruba and Fon beliefs
sou católica que não vai a igreja, tenho fé em iemanjá, acredito em padre cicero e desviro a chinela imediatamente, aprecio muito as músicas e as vertentes culturais da umbanda, de coração, acho uma religião linda com uma história espetacular, muito axé pra cada um!

I discovered this song on accident last week. Learned about an entire religion, and an entire culture I had no idea existed in my little American bubble. And I keep coming back. Absolutely entrancing
