Tava lá em casa, oiaiá
Sem pensar sem imaginar
Quando ouvi bater na porta
Salomão mandou chamar
Era hora de lutar
Para ajudar a vencer
A batalha liberal
Eu que nunca fui de luta
Nem pretendia lutar, amigo velho
Botei a arma na mão
Era tempo de lutar
Camarà…
I was at home, oiaiá
Without a thought
When I heard aknockin’ on the door
Salomão was calling me
It was time to fight
To help win
the battle for liberty
I who never was a fighter
Not even wanted to fight
I put a weapon in my hand
It was time to fight
Camarà…
