Mundo Enganador
Mestre Barrão
Deceptive World
Hey, we live here on this earth
Fighting to survive
The place where few have a lot
And many have nothing to eat
Looking at this, I get sad
I wonder what the solution is?
I am happy to have capoeira
As a form of expression
Capoeira is an art
And art is God's work
In this land, I don't have much (chorus)
But everything I have was given to me by God (chorus)
I have a singing canary
Tuned berimbau and a strong horse
And the affection of the cheerful brunette who gave me
Her love and the crying boy
Ah! My God, when I depart
From this deceptive world
To my son I will leave
Something of value, yes, yes, yes.
It's not money, it's not gold, it's not silver.
It's a cool berimbau that I got from my grandfather. (chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, My berimbau that plays Iúna and Benguela
Plays peace, and plays war and even plays chula of love.
It's not money, it's not gold, it's not silver.
It's a cool berimbau that I got from my grandfather.
Ah! My God, when I depart
From this deceptive world
To my son I will leave
Something of value, yes, yes, yes.
It's not money, it's not gold, it's not silver.
It's a cool berimbau that I got from my grandfather. (chorus)
Oh, oh, oh, My berimbau that plays Iúna and Benguela
Plays peace, and plays war and even plays chula of love.
It's not money, it's not gold, it's not silver.
It's a cool berimbau that I got from my grandfather. (chorus)
