Lei Áurea
Mestre Capu
Golden Law
Capoeira is not a seed of evil
Weed grows thin on the mountain, near the sugarcane field
Its beauty is also its defense
This Brazilian art and the eyes of the princess
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
It carries a message, which is through my lament
If you have good sense, you will stop to listen to me
Comes cornered, only walks along the corners
Comes to ask for my song, to be able to set yourself free
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
And a princess whose name is Isabel
Who was later accused of sleeping with the black man
Breaks the chain, opens the doors of the slave quarters
Life of a slave, don't run away to the darkness anymore
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
When dawn breaks, the black man was already far away
When the sun comes to bring news, the slave set himself free
Will stab to reunite his family
There is no more slavery, don't look for me, overseer
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
Golden Law, hey oh, Golden Law
