Sem Capoeira Eu Não Vivo

Without capoeira I can't live
I'm a fish out of the sea
A bird without flying
Day without darkening

Even crawling I go
I crouch to play
I ask the berimbau to play
And God to watch over me

I can go without eating
Nor will I drink water
I won't stay without capoeira
Because otherwise I will die

Fish out of water dies
The day has to darken
And me without capoeira
I don't know what I'll do

Bird without flying
Me without my capoeira
Bird flaps its wings
I remained in this sadness
