Mestre Dos Mestres
Abadá Capoeira
Master of Masters
Iêee
Manoel dos Reis Machado
He left and left us
God puts him in a good place
For he is deserving
He was the King of capoeira
It was he who taught me
He was the master of masters
My master whom God took
If he no longer plays on earth
Where up in heaven to play
With Traíra and Besouro
Aberrê and Valtemar
He was king here on earth
Today he is king in another place
Comrades, long live my master
Ehhh long live my master, camaraderie (chorus)
And he taught me
He taught me, camaraderie (chorus)
And it's capoeira
Eehh capoeira, camaraderie (chorus)
And it comes from Bahia
And it comes from Bahia, camaraderie (chorus)
.... camaraderie (chorus)
