O Dia Que O Berimbau Chorou
Abadá Capoeira
The Day The Berimbau Cried
The day the berimbau cried
On the day capoeira suffered
It was when they said that Bimba
Master from Bahia died
(chorus) the day the berimbau...
The day the berimbau cried
On the day capoeira suffered
It was when they said that Bimba
Master from Bahia died
(chorus) the day the berimbau...
He left Bahia
To teach in Goiás
Carrying in his memory
Only the memory of his parents
On February 5th
All of Bahia suffered
Upon learning that Master Bimba
Died in Goiânia
(chorus) the day the berimbau...
It's hard to understand
How this could happen
The Master leaving Bahia
To live in Goiânia
He sold his academy
In the northeast of Amaralina
Where baptisms and graduations took place
(chorus) the day the berimbau...
Destiny was cruel
To Manoel dos Reis Machado
He helped capoeira
But was not respected by many
Far from his land
He died sad and embittered
Also very regretful
For trusting a student
(chorus) the day the berimbau...
