Se Eu Podesse Eu Voltava No Tempo Iaiá

If I could, I’d go back in time, baby
If I could, I’d go back in time, oh boy
If I could, I’d go back in time, baby
I’d go back in time, oh boy
I’d go back in time, baby

I’d go back to see Master Bimba play
I’d go back to see Seu Pastinha too
I’d go back to see Seu Traíra
I’d go back to see Waldemar
I’d go back to see Besouro Mangangá
Chorus:

I’d go back to see Atenízio and Rozendo
I’d go back to hear Mugungê sing
I’d go back to see Caiçara
Maré and also Paraná
I’d go back to see Onça Preta and Aberrê
Chorus:

I’d go back to see the fight of the batuque
I’d go back to see the shine of the razor
In Bahia, see Master Noronha
In Recife, Nascimento Grande
In Rio, see Manduca da Praia
Chorus:

If I could, I’d go back in time, darling
Just to see how everything went down
If I could, I’d go back in time
I’d go back to the plantation and the slave quarters
To see how capoeira was born
Go back in time
Chorus:
