Maculelê ele é valente é guerreiro

Veio das matas pra brincar neste terreiro

É dança de nego velho, no tempo de cativeiro
É dança de nego velho, no tempo de cativeiro

É dança tão no oscuro, oculum de candieiro
É dança tão no oscuro, oculum de candieiro

Maculelê he is brave and a warrior

Came from the woods to play in this yard

It’s the dance of an old man, during the time of captivity

It’s dancing so in the dark, oculum de candieiro
