Bumba Lyrics by Soulfly

Soulfly (Special Limited Edition)

1998

[Intro: Max Cavalera]
We the land of carnival and murder
Bring the drums and the sounding of thunder
Oh my people, we got to get stronger
With the spirit of war in Quilombos

[Chorus: Cavalera]
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power
Bring the shit

[Verse 1: Cavalera]
Bring our roots, we're under the sun
From in the jungle and from the slums
Our freedom we bring with this song
Never forget where you came from

[Chorus: Cavalera]
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power

[Post-Chorus: Los Hooligans]
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba

[Verse 2: Cavalera]
Oxossi, open my way
I'm gonna tell the world what you say
I know God, making me a way
We pray, we pray, we pray everyday

[Chorus: Cavalera]
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power
Jungle people jungle
Never underestimate our power

[Post-Chorus: Los Hooligans]
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba

[Bridge: Los Hooligans]
Ele é caboclo, ele é flecheiro, bumba na calunga (He's an underbred, he's an archer)
É matador de feiticeiro, bumba na calunga (He's a witch killer)
Ele vai firmar seu ponto, bumba na calunga (he will assure his point)
E vai firmar na angola (he will assure in Angola)
Bumba na calunga e na fe de Oxala (bumba in the calunga and in the faith in oxalá)
Bumba na calunga (He's an archer)
(Ponto de coboclo sete flechas / T.E.P.J. da C.)

[Outro: Cavalera and Los Hooligans]
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
Bumba, bumba
