Toque de Santa Maria

In the moonlit yard (Santa Maria)
No more evil eye (Santa Maria)
There's a circle game (Santa Maria)
There's a saint's circle (Santa Maria)
The angel's sword (Santa Maria)
Lit up the lantern (Santa Maria)
Praising Saint George (Santa Maria)
The warrior saint (Santa Maria)

Saint George guards the moon
Sentinel of the guiding star
The dragon fell dead in the street
Under the saint's watchful spear
The queen called the soldier
By the cavalry chief
Saint George was decorated
Knight of Santa Maria (Knight of Santa Maria)
Knight of Santa Maria

In the moonlit yard (Santa Maria)
No more evil eye (Santa Maria)
There's a circle game (Santa Maria)
There's a saint's circle (Santa Maria)
The angel's sword (Santa Maria)
Lit up the lantern (Santa Maria)
Praising Saint George (Santa Maria)
The warrior saint (Santa Maria)

When the moon illuminates the yard
The major dismounts
Saint George became the patron saint
His portrait in every academy
It's to end captivity
In the yards of Bahia
Saint George was the first
Capoeira of Santa Maria (Capoeira of Santa Maria)
Capoeira of Santa Maria

In the moonlit yard (Santa Maria)
No more evil eye (Santa Maria)
There's a circle game (Santa Maria)
There's a saint's circle (Santa Maria)
The angel's sword (Santa Maria)
Lit up the lantern (Santa Maria)
Praising Saint George (Santa Maria)
The warrior saint (Santa Maria)

This story was born with Besouro
Who also liked poetry
It's passed down to every freshman
When there's a singing circle
Singing capoeira in chorus
As this song seems like magic
He came with a golden cord
By Santa Maria's Beat (By Santa Maria's Beat)
By Santa Maria's Beat

In the moonlit yard (Santa Maria)
No more evil eye (Santa Maria)
There's a circle game (Santa Maria)
There's a saint's circle (Santa Maria)
The angel's sword (Santa Maria)
Lit up the lantern (Santa Maria)
Praising Saint George (Santa Maria)
The warrior saint (Santa Maria)
