Lê Parana
Song Lyrics
Iê parana
Parana parana iê parana
iê parana
É para boa maneira
iê parana
Quero ouvir vocês cantar
iê parana
Meia lua e rasteira
iê parana
Na roda de capoeira
iê parana
Parana parana iê parana
iê parana
Meu para parana iê parana
iê parana
Meu para é melhor que você parana
iê parana
E o coro vai ajudar parana
iê parana
Terra boa de morar parana
iê parana
Terra que você planta dar parana
English Translation
Parana Iê
Parana parana Parana iê
iê parana
It is for a good way
iê parana
I want to hear you sing
iê parana
Meia lua e rasteira
iê parana
In the capoeira roda
iê parana
Parana parana iê parana
iê parana
Stop me, Parana iê Parana
iê parana
My Para is better than your Parana
iê parana
And the choir will help parana
iê parana
Good land to live on parana
iê parana
Land where you established parana
History and sentiment behind song
Para and Parana are cities, but Parana could also refer to a man. In candomblé there is also a caboclo called Parana.
Paraná is a southern state of Brasil, which borders Paraguay and whose river (also called the Paraná) was fought over in a war with Paraguay in the 1860s. Many slaves (among them, capoeiristas) were sent to fight in this war, with the promise of earning their freedom.
