Eu vou fugir
eu vou capitão do mato
Eu vou fugir
eu vou capitão do mato

Minhas mão tão calejudas
minha alma está cansada
Já não aguento esse lugar
o quilombo dos Palmares
ajude a me curar

Eu vou fugir
eu vou capitão do mato

Sem mim não tinha riqueza
conheci fome e tristeza
e o chicote a me espancar
vou prá perto de Zumbi
ele está a me esperar

Eu vou fugir
eu vou capitão do mato

I will run away
I’m going captain of the forest
I will run away
I’m going captain of the forest

My hands are so calloused
my soul is tired
I can’t stand this place anymore
the Palmares quilombo
help me heal

I will run away
I’m going captain of the forest

Without me there was no wealth
I knew hunger and sadness
and the whip beating me
I’m going close to Zumbi
he is waiting for me

I will run away
I’m going captain of the forest
