A Capoeira e o Cantador

I was walking down a street
When someone stopped me
I heard about you
You're the singer
You're the singer
You're the singer
You're the singer

I want you to answer me
Using your words
What is capoeira
From the depths of your soul
It's my sky,
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the shine of the moon

It's my sky,
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the shine of the moon

It's much more than that
It's my way of living
If I sing, it's to tell
What you want to know
It's my sky,
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the shine of the moon

When I hear a berimbau
And a well-sung song
My heart rejoices
I leave the sorrows aside
It's my sky,
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the shine of the moon

And it goes much further
It's my philosophy
It's my way of being
As long as I have life
It's my sky,
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the shine of the moon

I don't take long talking
Quite simply in this way
There is nothing in this world
Like capoeira
It's my sky,
It's my sea
The light of the stars
And the shine of the moon
