Hoje Tem Capoeira

Look, grab the berimbau and start playing
Pandeiro, atabaque cannot be missing
Quick game that in Bahia
I learned to play
Meia-lua, sweep, hammer, and stomp
Release the mandinga according to reason
In the sung prayer asks for protection

And today has capoeira
In the sound of the viola, come to the roda
And let's play

My master was Bimba
Black mandingueiro with whom this art
I learned to play
I've played by the riverbank
At the foot of the hill by the sea
Jump from here, play over there
Disciple of Bimba
Has come to play

And today has capoeira
In the sound of the viola, come to the roda
And let's play

Look, grab the berimbau and start playing
Pandeiro, atabaque cannot be missing
In the quick game that in Bahia
I learned to play

And today has capoeira
In the sound of the viola, come to the roda
And let's play
