Vieram Três Pra Bater No Negro

Three came to beat the black man
Three came to beat the black man

They brought a knife, a club, and a machete
They brought a knife, a club, and a machete

You don’t know what the black man can do
You don’t know what the black man can do

Swap hands for feet
Feet for hands
Swap hands for feet
Feet for hands
Swap hands for feet
Feet for hands

Slap in the face, trip on the ground
Slap in the face, trip on the ground

You don’t know what the black man can do
You don’t know what the black man can do

Swap hands for feet
Feet for hands

Swap hands for feet
Feet for hands

Swap hands for feet
Feet for hands

Swap hands for feet
Feet for hands

Nineteen sixty-three
Nineteen sixty-three

There was a scene that gave chills
There was a scene that gave chills

The cops breaking down the door
The cops breaking down the door

I want to drink a bottle of rum to fall asleep
I want to drink a bottle of rum to fall asleep

Capoeira
Oh lelê
Capoeira
Oh lalá
Capoeira
Oh lelê
Lelê lelê lelê lalá

Capoeira
Oh lelê
Hey, capoeira
Oh lalá
Capoeira
Oh lelê
Lelê lelê lelê lalá lala

I want to live in this life a great transformation
To play capoeira around the world
And spread out on the ground
Capoeira with good friends
Capoeira from the heart
Capoeira for the rest of the world
We are all brothers

Capoeira
Oh lelê
Capoeira
Oh lalá
Capoeira
Oh lelê
Lelê lelê lelê lalá lala

There are four things in this world
There are four things in this world

That make my heart race
It’s a house [?]
It’s a horse neighing
It’s a boy crying
It’s a jealous woman
I’ll find a way for all of this
