Acarajé
João Grilo (Capoeira)
Acarajé
Let all that good energy inside you flow
Let it take you, carry you, and wrap you up
Let your spirit out that's deep within your soul
Hold on to the memories, man, the berimbau's about to play
Acarajé is like a circle
You gotta have palm oil
To make the vibe
Acarajé is like a circle
You gotta have palm oil
To make the vibe
The claps of Seu Bimba and the spirit matters
To make the circle feel alive
Clapping hands together, makes the energy rise
Makes the circle grow for the capoeira to play
Acarajé is like a circle
You gotta have palm oil
To make the vibe
The song is like the spice in acarajé
'Cause the palm oil won't be missing
Fire without coals is like a dry circle
Because of that, vatapá won't be lacking
Acarajé is like a circle
You gotta have palm oil
To make the vibe
The baiana has, has spice, has flavor
And the veggies to season the food
'Cause the taste comes from your experience
And a good capoeira is meant to be tested
Acarajé is like a circle
You gotta have palm oil
To make the vibe
Acarajé is like a circle
You gotta have palm oil
To make the vibe
Acarajé is like a circle
You gotta have palm oil
To make the vibe
Let your spirit out that's deep within your soul
Hold on to the memories, man, the berimbau's about to play
Let your spirit out that's deep within your soul
Hold on to the memories, man, the berimbau's about to play
