L? na mata escura, o galo cacarejou
Nessa roda mandingueira o jogo arrepiou
O l? l?o, o jogo arrepiou
Quem n?o quer melar o dedo, n?o come do vatap?
Quem n?o tem o couro grosso nessa roda vai sobrar
O l? l?o, o jogo arrepiou
Deep down in the dark woods, a rooster crowed
In this roda full of mandinga, the game itself got goosebumps
O l? l?o, the game itself got goosebumps
Who does not want to get his finger dirty, doesn't eat the vatap?
Who does not have a hard skin will be left out of this roda
O l? l?o, the game itself got goosebumps
