Berimbau Mandou Benzer
Abadá Capoeira
Berimbau Sent to Bless
There, there and there
Read, read
Angola's sorcery,
Berimbau sent to bless
Ê, ê, ê, berimbau sent to bless
Ê, ê, ê, berimbau sent to bless
Capoeira is cunning and sorcery
Maintaining its tradition
And prays to all saints
And to their orixás asking for protection
Ê, ê, ê, berimbau sent to bless
Squatting at the foot of the berimbau
He made the sign of the cross
Capoeira is your guiding star
It is she who leads you
Ê, ê, ê, berimbau sent to bless
Berimbau is the one who commands the game
Their faces like cazumbá
The black man has a closed body
Because he carries his amulet
Ê, ê, ê, berimbau sent to bless
In the air there is a desire for a fight
Eyes will not look away
And in the corner of the mandingueiro
Provocative songs
Ê, ê, ê, berimbau sent to bless
The handshake is sly
Not knowing how it will end
What is certain in the return of the world
Is that they will meet
Ê, ê, ê, berimbau sent to bless
