Fig of Guinea | Lyrics in English

Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
 
I’m from faith, head made
Axe, axé
In the candomblé peji
Axe, axé
I have my body closed
Axe, axé
From head to toe
 
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
 
Take it easy, hold on
Axe, axé
Who warns, friend is
Axe, axé
Who can’t with the mandinga?
Axe, axé
Don’t beat the panije
 
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
 
Strong wave doesn’t knock down Axe, axé
I don’t even hurt those who have faith
Axe, axé
I’m going to the waters of my saint
Axe, axé
In the flood of the tide
 
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
 
They sent me from Bahia
Axe, axé
My Guinean pussy
Axe, axé
With Caymmi’s blessing
 
Axe, axé
Jorge Amado and Caribé
 
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
 
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
Who avenges me from the mandinga is the fig of Guinea
But the faith of my axé I won’t say who it is
