Há um lugar chamado Sambazul
As águas lamacentas do Delta
se encontram com o Verde-Rosa do sul

Já ouvi um velho feiticeiro cantar
sobre os órfãos filhos d'África
em Sambazul

Como eles navegam nos rios brasis,
nos rios bravios que corre seu sangue ancestral
não sei, não vi

Como eles conquistam as ninfas,
tão ínfimas, tão íntimas,
com a percussão dos grilhões
com o som dos violões
Eu não sei, eu não vi

Porque nem seiva salva
essa gente
Nem saliva convence
a selva capital

Talvez o carnaval
os salve,
os livre,
para nadarem nus
no Emancimississippi

Capital
Colonial
Canavial

There is a place called Sambazul
The muddywaters from the Delta
Meet the Pink-Green from the south

I once heard
an old sorcerer singing
about the orphans sons of Africa
in Sambazul

How they sail in the brazilian rivers
the brave rivers where your ancestral blood flows
I do not know, didn't saw it

How they conquer the nymphs
so intimate, so tiny
with the percussion from the grilhões
with the sound from the guitars
I do not now, didn't saw it

No sap can save these people
neither saliva convinces
the capital jungle

Maybe the Carnival
can save them
can free them

So they can swim naked
in the Emancimississipi

Capital
Colonial
Canavial

Given his eclectic tastes and creativity, it is not surprising that John's music has evolved in to a World Music style. A new EP has just been released, named "Last Song of the Dove".
