Movido Pela Capoeira
Raízes Negras
Moved by Capoeira
I am moved by capoeira
I am moved by the berimbau
In the Angola chant
In the regional courtyard
In the sway of a capoeirista
In the sound of the berimbau!
The world becomes small
When the roda begins
I express my feelings
I let my body speak!
She is my guiding star
She comes and takes me
I ask God and thank Him
For having met her
She is my life
She carries me
She is my energy
That's why I take her
I started as a joke
I started without emotion
But then capoeira
Conquered my heart!
I chose capoeira
Because it chose me
I looked at her, she smiled
And in that moment she chose me!
