Vieram Três Pra Bater No Negro
Tonho Matéria
Three Came To Beat The Black Man
Three came to beat the black man
They brought a knife, a club and a machete
You don't know what the black man can do
Swap hands for feet and feet for hands
Slap in the face low on the ground
You don't know what the black man can do
Swap your hands for your feet
The feet through the hands
Slap in the face low on the ground
You don't know what the black man can do
Swap your hands for your feet
Nineteen sixty-three
Hear a hair-raising fight
The police breaking the heel
I want to drink a bottle of sugarcane to fall asleep
I want to drink a bottle of sugarcane to fall asleep (chorus)
Capoeira
Oh lele (chorus)
Capoeira
Oh lala (chorus)
Capoeira
Oh lele (chorus)
Lele lele lele lala
I want to experience a great transformation in this life
From playing capoeira around the world
And spread myself across the floor
Capoeira of good friends
Capoeira of the heart
Capoeira for the rest of the world
We are all brothers
Capoeira
Oh lele (chorus)
Capoeira
Oh lala (chorus)
Capoeira
Oh lele (chorus)
Lele lele lele lala
