English Translation

Curva de rio Ponta de areia

River curve, Point of sand

Andei pela praia no rastro da sereia

I walked along the beach in the wake of the mermaid


Pra jogar a Capoeira, tem idade não senhor

For playing Capoeira, there's no age, sir

Gordo, magro, velho, moço, tem que ser improvisador

Fat, skinny, old, young, must be an improviser


Berimbau comanda o jogo, com pandeiro e agogô

Berimbau commands the game, with tambourine and agogô

O atabaque no sentido que esse som me provocou

The atabaque in the direction that this sound provoked me


Macio feito uma mola, Capoeira é de valor

Soft like a spring, Capoeira has value

Põe mandinga nesse jogo, berimbau já reclamou

Put magic in this game, the berimbau has already complained


A onça turrou na mata, boi malhado assustou

The jaguar roared in the forest, the spotted ox got scared

No galho da seringueira, macaco já pulou

On the rubber tree branch, the monkey already jumped


Na beira do rio eu vi sucuri laçar um boi no meio da águas eu via sereia cantar

On the riverbank, I saw an anaconda lasso a bull in the middle of the water, I saw a mermaid singing

Do outro lado eu vi um mutum a voar

On the other side, I saw a mutum bird flying
