Gilberto Astrud – Jungle (XangÔ) lyrics

It's fire, it's light
It's the star that shines so bright
It's love, it's Spring
It's the song for me to sing

I have been to distant places,
Walking on a road of stone
There were people all around me,
But my heart was all alone

Found myself within a jungle,
And AT times I had to weep
I saw weeds choking flowers,
I saw wolves posing as sheep...
In the darkness of the night
Only God could hear my cry
For justice, for protection,
For a star to light my sky

XangÔ, XangÔ, ah venha me ajudar (*)
XangÔ, XangÔ, venha me abenÇoar

But I survived,
And the scars made me strong
So here I am,
And once again,
I will sing my song

It's fire, it's light
It's the star that shines so bright
It's love, it's Spring
It's the song for me to sing

* It means: Xangô, Xangô, oh, come and help me; Xangô, Xangô, come and bless me
