A Capoeira e o Cantador
Abadá Capoeira
The Capoeira and the Singer
I was passing by on a street
When someone stopped me
I heard about you
He's the singer
He is a singer
He is a singer
He is a singer
He is a singer
I want you to answer me
Using your words
What is capoeira?
From the bottom of your soul
It's my heaven
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the moonlight shines
It's my heaven
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the moonlight shines
It's much more than that
She is my life
If I sing it's to tell
What do you want to know?
It's my heaven
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the moonlight shines
When I hear a berimbau
And a well-sung song
My heart rejoices
I leave sadness aside
It's my heaven
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the moonlight shines
And it goes much further
It's my philosophy
It's my way of being
As long as I have life
It's my heaven
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the moonlight shines
I won't take long to talk
Very simple that way
It does not exist in this world
Nothing like capoeira
It's my heaven
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the moonlight shines
