Sinhá Mandou Chamar

Portuguese English
Sinhá mandou chamar
Sinhá mandou dizer
Que se o nego não vir, vai apanhar
Mas nego não quer saber

Sinhá mandou chamar
Sinhá mandou dizer
Que se o nego não vir, vai apanhar
Mas nego não quer saber


Negro não quer saber
Se vai pro tronco de madeira
Pois o negro esqueçe tudo
Quando tá na capoeira

Sinhá mandou chamar
Sinhá mandou dizer
Que se o nego não vir, vai apanhar
Mas nego não quer saber


Antigamente era assim que acontecia
Se o negro não obedecesse
O capitão lhe prendia
Prá bater na covardia

Sinhá mandou chamar
Sinhá mandou dizer
Que se o nego não vir, vai apanhar
Mas nego não quer saber


Hoje em dia é diferente
Com a abolição da escravatura
A corda que amarrou o negro
Hoje eu trago na cintura

Sinhá mandou chamar
Sinhá mandou dizer
Que se o nego não vir, vai apanhar
Mas nego não quer saber


A dor era tanta
De ferir o coração
Pois sabia que o castigo
Quem lhe dava era o irmão

Sinhá mandou chamar
Sinhá mandou dizer
Que se o nego não vir, vai apanhar
Mas nego não quer saber

Sinhá sent for
Sinhá sent to say
That if the black man doesn't come, he'll be beaten
But black man doesn't care

Sinhá sent for
Sinhá sent to say
That if the black man doesn't come, he'll be beaten
But black man doesn't care

Black man doesn't want to know
If he's going to the wooden trunk
For the black man forgets everything
When he's in capoeira

Sinhá sent for
Sinhá sent to say
That if the black man doesn't come, he'll be beaten
But black man doesn't care

In the past this was how it happened
If the black man did not obey
The captain arrested him
To beat him in cowardice

Sinhá sent for
Sinhá sent to say
That if the black man doesn't come, he'll be beaten
But black man doesn't care

Nowadays it's different
With the abolition of slavery
The rope that tied the black man
Today I wear it around my waist

Sinhá sent for
Sinhá sent to say
That if the black man doesn't come, he'll be beaten
But black man doesn't care

The pain was so much
Heart-wrenching
Because he knew that punishment
Was delivered by his brother

Sinhá sent for
Sinhá sent to say
That if the black man doesn't come, he'll be beaten
But black man doesn't care
