Tava lá em casa, ó iâ iâ
Sem pénsar sem maginar
Tava lá em casa, ó iâ iâ
Sem pénsar sem maginar
Quando ouvi batér na porta
Quando ouvi batér na porta, ó iâ iâ
Salomão mandou chámar
Era hora de lutar
Para ajudar a vencer
Para ajudar a vencer, ó iâ iâ
A batalhá liderar
Eu que nunca fui de luta
Nem pretendia lutar, amigo velho
Botei a arma na mão
Era tempo de lutar
Era hora de lutar...
Tempo de Lutar
I was there in the house without
thinking or imagining
I was there in the house without
thinking or imagining
When I heard a knock on the door
When I heard a knock on the door
Salomão ordered to call
It was time to fight
To help the victory
To help the victory
To lead the battle
I who had never faught
Nor wanted to fight an old friend
took a weapon in my hand
It was time to fight
It was the hour to fight
Time To fight
