I call upon the spirits, I call upon the spirits
Oluaê, Ogum is invoked, the spirits are summoned (Oluaê tarã)
The spirits are summoned

I call upon the spirits, I call upon the spirits
Oluaê, Ogum is invoked, the spirits are summoned (Oluaê tarã)
The spirits are summoned (Oluaê tarã)

I have the strength and power of those born with gold and an iron axe in hand
A victorious suburbanite, I know who I am, no one can take that away from me
I have a steel drum, I'm paving the way
Don't worry about me, man
Because I'm not alone
A street kid, a product of the hill
Seven swords, mark the ground
Ogunhê, restraint
Blue guide, protection

I call upon the spirits, I call upon the spirits
Oluaê, Ogum is invoked, the spirits are summoned (Oluaê tarã)
The spirits are summoned (Oluaê tarã)

We're in the fight, iron and fire
I have the urgency of slow time
North Zone, foundation
Call Oyá, bring the wind
Patakori my warrior, be my path, my feet and my air
I'm from Jorge's phalanx, clear the orishas, the earth and the sea
I have a steel drum, I'm paving the way
Don't worry about me, man
Because I'm not alone

I call upon the spirits, I call upon the spirits
Oluaê, Ogum is invoked, the spirits are summoned (Oluaê tarã)
The spirits are summoned (Oluaê tarã)

You know in the Ifa tradition of the Yoruba
Ogum is the energy whose machete is used to clear a path
I call upon the spirits, I call upon the spirits
Oluaê, Ogum is invoked, the spirits are summoned (Oluaê tarã)
The spirits are summoned (Yeah!)
