Meu mestre é bamba
Mestre Barrão
My Master is the Best
My master is the best
He's the best, the best at capoeira
My master is the best
He's the best, the best at capoeira
This guy's something else
He's got some tricks up his sleeve
He's quick in the ring, got a solid stance
Makes his prayer on the berimbau
Asks the spirits for his protection
My master is the best
He's the best, the best at capoeira
He threw a kick, then swept the leg
Got up on his hands, did a handstand
Meia-lua, queixada, martelo, esporão
My master’s a beast but has a good heart
My master is the best
He's the best, the best at capoeira
He's from the Northeast, a tough guy
Left the Northeast to take on the world
He's traveled all around
Now he teaches in Canada
My master is the best
He's the best, the best at capoeira
When I see my master playing
I feel my body tingle
When he sings a chant
When he plays the berimbau
When he plays capoeira
Whether it's angola or regional
My master is the best
He's the best, the best at capoeira
