Lyrics

As camélias do quilombo do Leblon
As camélias do quilombo do Leblon
As camélias do quilombo do Leblon
As camélias
As camélias do quilombo do Leblon
As camélias do quilombo do Leblon
As camélias do quilombo do Leblon
Nas lapelas
Vimos as tristes colinas logo ao sul de Hebron
Rimos com as doces meninas sem sair do tom
O que fazer
Chegando aqui?
As camélias do Quilombo do Leblon
Brandir
Somos a Guarda Negra da Redentora
Somos a Guarda Negra da Redentora
As camélias da Segunda Abolição
As camélias da Segunda Abolição
As camélias da Segunda Abolição
As camélias
As camélias da segunda abolição
As camélias da segunda abolição
As camélias da segunda abolição
Cadê elas?
Somos assim, capoeiras das ruas do rio
será sem fim o sofrer do povo do Brasil
Nele, em mim, vive o refrão
As camélias da segunda abolição virão

Lyrics translation

The camellias of the quilombo of Leblon
The camellias of the quilombo of Leblon
The camellias of the quilombo of Leblon
The camellias
The camellias of the quilombo of Leblon
The camellias of the quilombo of Leblon
The camellias of the quilombo of Leblon
On the lapels
We saw the sad hills just south of Hebron
We laugh with the sweet girls without going out of tone
What to do
Coming here?
The Camellias of the Quilombo of Leblon
Brandish
We are the Black Guard of the Redeemer
We are the Black Guard of the Redeemer
The camellias of the second abolition
The camellias of the second abolition
The camellias of the second abolition
The camellias
The camellias of the second abolition
The camellias of the second abolition
The camellias of the second abolition
Where are they?
We are like this, capoeiras of the streets of rio
it will be endless suffering of the people of Brazil
In him, in me, lives the chorus
The camellias of the second abolition will come
