A saga do Cantador
Abadá Capoeira
The Tale of the Singer
Boy, just so you know, oh yeah
The weight of a singer
Is a responsibility
For real, yes sir
It’s not just about shouting hey
And opening your mouth to sing
It’s something that comes from within
Given by my God, my Father
You gotta pass on the energy, oh yeah
And know how to spread it
Talk about beautiful things
And also make you cry
Stars shine in the sky, oh yeah
But they don’t shine like the sun
Our sun is our master
Whom we must respect
So if one day, my God
You don’t hear me sing
Please, old friend
Don’t get mad, alright?
It’s just that today isn’t my day, oh yeah
I’m sorry, my brother
And know that I always carry you
Deep in my heart
Buddy
Hey, long live my God
Hey, long live my master
Hey, capoeira
Hey, hail Bahia
Hey, long live Rio de Janeiro
Hey, hail Brazil
