Dona Isabel que história é essa?
De ter feito abolição
De ser princesa boazinha
Que acabou com escravidão
Estou cansado de conversa
Estou cansado de ilusão
Abolição se fez com sangue
Que inundava esse país
Que o negro transforma em luta
Cansado de ser infeliz
A abolição se fez bem antes
Ainda por se fazer agora
Com a verdade das favelas
Nao com as mentiras da escola
Ôh! isabel chegou a hora
De se acabar com essa maldade
E de ensinar pro nossos filhos
O quanto custa a liberdade
Viva Zumbi, nosso guerreiro
Que fez-se heroi la em Palmares
Viva a cultura desse povo
A liberdade verdadeira
Que ja corria nos quilombos
Que ja jogava capoeira | Mrs. Isabel, what story is this?
Of having brought about abolition
Of being a nice princess
Who did away with slavery
I am tired of talk
I am tired of illusion
Abolition was won with blood
That inundated this country
That the black man transformed into battle
Tired of being unhappy
Abolition was won much earlier
And must still be won today
With the truth of the slums
Not with the lies told in schools
Oh! Isabel, the time has arrived
To do away with this evil
And teach our children
The cost of liberty
Long live Zumbi, our warrior
Who became a hero in Palmares
Long live the culture of this people
The true liberty
That already flowed freely in the quilombos
That already played capoeira | Print this Capoeira lyric
