A Roda Vai Começar
Abadá Capoeira
The Wheel is About to Start
Zumbi rose to the sky
Aberrê and Paraná,
Mestre Bimba also rose
and Besouro Mangangá
Up in the sky there's capoeira,
a star told me.
When the thunder roars
That's when the wheel begins
Besouro plays, Zumbi
Mestre Bimba and Paraná
the wheel was lively
Everyone watching
But Pastinha here on earth
Was blind, lamenting
He raised his hand and said:
Oh my God! I want to play too
Pastinha rose to the sky
It started to thunder
In the sky a brighter light, oh dear.
The wheel is about to start
camarade...
