Olerê Camará

Open the circle, buddy
Open the circle, buddy
Open the circle, buddy
Smell the Camará...
Smell the Camará

When I play capoeira
On Piá's hill
If longing is teasing
I tie a knot in the berimbau
If sadness is nagging
Thinking about fighting
With my wooden bow
I want to see who will tease

Open the circle, buddy
Open the circle, buddy
Open the circle, buddy
Smell the Camará...
Smell the Camará

It was Pastinha by the river
Who taught the Camará
There's no knot of memories
That can catch me
If a sadness comes over me
I put my faith in Oxalá
I take the stick on the snout
I leave the pain of love behind

Open the circle, buddy
Open the circle, buddy
Open the circle, buddy
Smell the Camará...
Smell the Camará
