Mundo Enganador

Hi, we live here in this land
Fighting to survive
The Place Where Few Have Much
And many without having anything to eat
Looking at this makes me sad
I wonder what the solution is?
I'm happy to have capoeira
As a form of expression
Capoeira is an art
And art is the work of God

In this land I don't have much (chorus)
But all I have was given to me by God (chorus)

I have a singing canary
Tuned berimbau and a chotão horse
And a caress from the cheeky brunette who gave me
Your love and the crying boy
Ah! My God when I leave
From this deceiving world
For my son I will leave
A thing of value, it is it is

It's not money, it's not gold, it's not silver
It's a cool berimbau that I got from my grandfather

Oh, oh, oh, my berimbau that plays Iúna and benguela
Play peace, and play war and even play love

It's not money, it's not gold, it's not silver
It's a cool berimbau that I got from my grandfather

Ah! My God when I leave
From this deceiving world
For my son I will leave
A thing of value, it is it is

It's not money, it's not gold, it's not silver
It's a cool berimbau that I got from my grandfather

Oh, oh, oh, My berimbau that plays Iúna and benguela
Play peace, and play war and even play love

It's not money, it's not gold, it's not silver
It's a cool berimbau that I got from my grandfather
