Noite Sem Lua

It was a moonless night
It was a moonless night

It was a moonless night and I was alone
Making my walk my own way
Feeling the scent of roses and the pain of thorns

Suddenly despite the darkness I could tell
That someone was lurking without even knowing why
It was time for fight and death, it's kill or be killed

The razor passed cutting me, it was almost like a caress
My blood mixed with the dust and stones of the path
It was time to ask for blessings to my orixá
And go for the game of death, it's lose or win

I made the precise strike of the snake, someone guided me
A well-given Half-Moon is death
And the fight was over

I walked through the moonless night
Stories in my pocket
It's not easy to end the luck of a good capoeira

If you don't believe me, wait for me on another path
And sharpen your razor well
I don't walk alone
