Mariô [English translation]

[Chorus]

Ogum adjo, ê mariô

(Okunlakaiê)

Ogum adjo, ê mariô

(Okunlakaiê) [8x]

[Verse]

Before Sabata wrote "A Good Place"

We already danced the "Shimmy Shimmy Ya"

Chico told "the wheel won't stop"

And whoever thinks of himself as elite be careful not to fall

Love attitudes we must sample

To Mulatu Astatke and Fela Kuti listen

Preach peace, yeah, is a manner of honor

'Cause the real world ain't the Pamonha's Ranch

And, you bet, more than five hundred thousand guys

You can bet too, the suburban dialect

You bet, the faith in you we placed

And girl, I hate to explain the slang

I got you a bed of mud

A sheet of gall to lining your bed

In the verse's force, the rhyme spanks

The sweet hypocrisy our child attract

I don't need glasses to see

What happens around me

They give the candy and then they take it

Today you'll have my best

They think I'll quail

Small mind, I pity them

I don't need Mother Dinah

To know it's your worst
