Sinha mandou chamar
Sinhá mandou chamar
Sinhá mandou dizer
Que se o negro não vim vai apanhar
Mais nego não quer saber
Nego não quer saber
Se vai para o tronco de madeira
Pois o nego esquece tudo
Quando está na Capoeira
Antigamente era assim que acontecia
Se o nego não obedecesse
Tinha o Capitão que prendia
Pra bater na covardia
Hoje em dia é diferente
Com a Aboliçao da Escravatura
E a corda que amarrou o nego
Hoje trago na cintura
A dor era tanta
Que feria o coração
Pois sabia que apanhava
O castigo quem dava era um irmão
Sinhá sent for me.
Sinhá sent word
If the black man doesn't come, he'll get a beating.
But nobody wants to know.
Nego doesn't want to know.
If it goes to the tree trunk
Because the black man forgets everything.
When you are in Capoeira
That's how it used to be.
If the black man did not obey
There was a Captain who arrested
To beat cowards
Things are different nowadays.
With the Abolition of Slavery
And the rope that tied up the black man
Today I wear it on my waist
The pain was so intense.
That wounded the heart
Because I knew I was going to get caught.
The punishment was given by a brother.
