Sou Capoeira

I am capoeira, I was a street kid
Well sir, today life goes on
When I was a child
I was discriminated against
Many people told me
To leave capoeira aside
They said that capoeira
Was for troublemakers
That I had to go to school
Study to earn a lot of money
That I had to go to school
Study and graduate
To have a profession
To be a doctor, engineer, lawyer
But look sir, to me that was nonsense
Because what I really wanted
Was to learn the art of capoeira
But time passed
Everything was left behind
Today I travel the whole world
They don't speak badly of me anymore
They don't speak of capoeira
They don't speak badly of anyone
Because today they already know the value that capoeira has
