Cantador Waldemar

Waldemar of Passion
When I hear the berimbau play
It leaves an emptiness in my chest
My heart starts to cry

Waldemar has left this earth
No one can take his place
May God grant him good glory
So he can finally rest

Waldemar in his little shack
Preparing the berimbaus to paint
The colors he used to wear
Everyone wanted to buy

Master João Grande and João Pequeno
Speak highly of Master Waldemar
They said that at the gatherings by the dock
His song was a must-have

Waldemar was a great singer
When it comes to playing, I can't even begin to say
If someone called him to a circle
Our Master would just chill out
