Mestre Pastel sang this at the Sambando e Gingando Mojubá event and I can’t get it out of my head, so I’m writing it down here.
Sou das estrelas – Mestre Gajé
[Chorus 1]
Sou das estrelas, eu sou da lua
Sou da poeira, menino, moleque de rua (‘da poeira’ and ‘Capoeira’ are interchanged here)
I’m from the stars, I’m from the moon
I’m from the dust, boy, street kid
[Verse]
Já vendi laranja na feira de São Joaquim x2
Já vendi milho, pipoca, umbú, amendoim x2
I’ve sold oranges at the São Joaquim market
I’ve sold corn, popcorn, umbu, peanuts

Mestre Gajé came to visit Mojuba tonight and sang a lot of his songs. It was very special!
