Chora Capoeira

Cry capoeira, capoeira cries
cry capoeira, Master Bimba has gone away

Cry capoeira, capoeira cries
cry capoeira, Master Bimba has gone away

Oh Master Bimba has gone away
please take off your hat
but don't cry now
Master Bimba has gone to heaven

Cry capoeira, capoeira cries
cry capoeira, Master Bimba has gone away

Oh Master Bimba has gone away
but left a beautiful game
he must be playing now
in a circle in the infinite

Cry capoeira, capoeira cries
cry capoeira, Master Bimba has gone away

Oh Master Bimba has gone away
look there was no crying or mystery
the berimbau played serene
at the cemetery gate
Oh Cry

Cry capoeira, capoeira cries
cry capoeira, Master Bimba has gone away
