O Meu Gunga Comanda

My gunga commands capoeira
He who calls my body to play

My gunga commands capoeira
He who calls my body to play

If it plays two hisses, one loose and one tight
Angola must learn to play
On the ground close to your partner
Show that you are also a mandingueiro

My gunga commands capoeira
He who calls my body to play

Two hisses, one loose and returns with two tight
The gunga is marking the middle
Banguela a touch created to calm
The capoeiristas who play regional

My gunga commands capoeira
He who calls my body to play

And I take my body to the game of São Bento
When I hear this touch in the wind
Quickly until I can be a good mandingueiro
The game that calls for the exchange of warriors
