Capoeira Abadá
Abadá Capoeira
Capoeira Abadá
I'll tell you what makes me happy
In a circle
Of Capoeira
When I start to play
Three berimbaus
Gunga, medium, and a viola
Atabaque and the pandeiro
And two guys to play
-Chorus-
Capoeira ABADÁ
I keep playing Capoeira
Until the day breaks
(Chorus)
If you're Capoeira
Never stop training
(Chorus)
Sing a corrido
A chorus well answered
An immense energy
That standing still won't work
(Chorus)
From Monday to Friday
There's a circle in Humaitá
(Chorus)
Capoeira that's skilled
Plays anywhere
(Chorus)
A tough game
A strike and a sweep
Half-moon and a takedown
Keep playing
(Chorus)
If you're Capoeira
Never stop training
(Chorus)
Play on top
Play underneath
In whatever the berimbau commands
