Lamento do Capoeira

Hey, capoeira
Hey, capoeira

I come from Bahia
Carrying a berimbau in my hand
I play like a cavalry
I like to make songs

Nobody knows the suffering
Nobody knows my pain
Capoeira like me
Never had a love

A life full of intrigue
Full of disappointment
Everybody only sees me
When I'm on the ground

In a warning, I shout loud
For everyone to hear
You never try
To fight like capoeira

My fight is on my feet
I don't carry fear
If someone talks loud
They'll soon get a takedown
