Madeira Boa (Vou Esperar a Lua Voltar)

Portuguese English
Vou esperar a lua voltar
Eu quero entrar na mata ê
Eu vou tirar madeira boa
Pro meu berimbau fazer
I'll wait for the moon to come back
I want to enter the forest
I'll get some good wood
To make my berimbau
Vou esperar a lua voltar
Eu quero entrar na mata ê
Eu vou tirar madeira boa
Pro meu berimbau fazer
I'll wait for the moon to come back
I want to enter the forest
I'll get some good wood
To make my berimbau
Madeira boa é como amizade
Mas é difícil de se encontrar
A amizade eu guardo no peito
E da madeira vou fazer meu berimbau
Good wood is like friendship
It's so hard to find
Friendship I keep safe in my chest
And from the wood I'll make my berimbau
Vou esperar a lua voltar
Eu quero entrar na mata ê
Eu vou tirar madeira boa
Pro meu berimbau fazer
I'll wait for the moon to come back
I want to enter the forest
I'll get some good wood
To make my berimbau
Se Mestre Bimba estivesse aqui
Pra me ensinar a escolher madeira
Eu entrava agora na mata
Tirava ipê e pau-pereira
If Mestre Bimba were here
To teach me how to choose wood
I'd go into the woods right now
I'd take ipê and pau-pereira
Vou esperar a lua voltar
Eu quero entrar na mata ê
Eu vou tirar madeira boa
Pro meu berimbau fazer
I'll wait for the moon to come back
I want to enter the forest
I'll get some good wood
To make my berimbau
A noite vem, eu entro na mata
Lua clareia, vou procurar
Jequitibá e maçaranduba
O guatambu eu devo achar
The night comes, I enter the forest
Moon clears, I'll search for
Jequitibá and maçaranduba
The guatambu I should find
Vou esperar a lua voltar
Eu quero entrar na mata ê
Eu vou tirar madeira boa
Pro meu berimbau fazer
I'll wait for the moon to come back
I want to enter the forest
I'll get some good wood
To make my berimbau
Na velha África se usava o Ungo
Nas grandes festas religiosas
O Kingenge é um dialeto Umbundo
É o berimbau que conquistou o mundo
In old Africa the Ungo was used
At the large religious festivals
Kingenge is an Umbundo dialect
It is the berimbau which conquered the world
Vou esperar a lua voltar
Eu quero entrar na mata ê
Eu vou tirar madeira boa
Pro meu berimbau fazer
I'll wait for the moon to come back
I want to enter the forest
I'll get some good wood
To make my berimbau
Na lua cheia vou colher os frutos
E na minguante eu tiro a madeira
Vou pra fazer o meu berimbau
Vou pra tocar na capoeira
At full moon I will collect the fruits
And in the waning I'll take the wood
I'm going to make my berimbau
I'm going to play in capoeira
Vou esperar a lua voltar
Eu quero entrar na mata ê
Eu vou tirar madeira boa
Pro meu berimbau fazer
I'll wait for the moon to come back
I want to enter the forest
I'll get some good wood
To make my berimbau
