Look I love capoeira
Look I love capoeira
Look I love passionately
Through capoeira, I say yes, I say no
I say no to arrogance and also to oppression
I say yes to friendship and to heartfelt things
Capoeira is my life, it changed my direction
If today I am here, tomorrow I may be there
But wherever I go, I carry in my heart
The sound of the berimbau, the agogô and the pandeiro
Even without a destination, I won't abandon capoeira
My father said yes, my mother said no
Capoeira made me, ai ai ai, a free person at last
Capoeira is infinite, it's a sway that comes and goes
Capoeira is my name, capoeira is in my blood
Capoeira is being well, camaraderie
God is greater
I am smaller
Hail the master
Hail all the masters
Look there, it's time, it's time
Yes sir, let's go
Look there, the time has come
It's time, it's time
