Por que será?
Por que será, por que será?
Que hoje o negro nao veio trabalhar
Por que será, por que será?
Que hoje o negro nao veio trabalhar
Já correu notícia
Houve morte em Palmares
Morreu o negro chamado
Gangazumba
Já correu notícia
Houve morte em Palmares
Mataram o Negro Chamado
Gangazumba, por que será
Por que será, por que será?
Que hoje o negro nao veio trabalhar
Por que será, por que será?
Que hoje o negro nao veio trabalhar
Naquele tempo não existia a princesa
Não havia pão na mesa
Só tinha o canavial
Era o suor, era o sangue derramado
Era o trabalho do negro
Dia e noite sem parar
Por que será, por que será?
Que hoje o negro nao veio trabalhar
Por que será, por que será?
Que hoje o negro nao veio trabalhar
E hoje em dia
Depois do canavial
Tem o relógio de ponto
Que não para de marcar
E se o negro tá doente
E não consegue chegar
Seu patrão ou sinhozinho
Continua a perguntar
Por que será, por que será?
Que hoje o negro nao veio trabalhar
Por que será, por que será?
Que hoje o negro nao veio trabalhar
Why is that, why is that?
That the black man didn't come to work today.
Why is that, why is that?
That the black man didn't come to work today.
The news has already broken.
There was a death in Palmares.
The black man named [name] died.
Gangazumba
The news has already broken.
There was a death in Palmares.
They killed the Black man called
Gangazumba, why is that?
Why is that, why is that?
That the black man didn't come to work today.
Why is that, why is that?
That the black man didn't come to work today.
In those days, there was no princess.
There was no bread on the table.
There was only the sugarcane field.
It was sweat, it was spilled blood.
It was the black man's job.
Day and night without stopping
Why is that, why is that?
That the black man didn't come to work today.
Why is that, why is that?
That the black man didn't come to work today.
And nowadays
After the sugarcane field
It has a time clock.
That keeps scoring
What if the black person is sick?
And it can't get there.
Your boss or master
Keep asking
Why is that, why is that?
That the black man didn't come to work today.
Why is that, why is that?
That the black man didn't come to work today.
