CAPOEIRA SONGS I

FROM: PUBLIC DOMAIN

ADAPTATION: MESTRE TONHO MATÉRIA

three came to beat the black man

They brought a knife, club and machete

you don't know

What can a black man do?

change hands to feet

feet by hands

slap in the face low on the floor

you don't know what you can

do the black

nineteen sixty-three

had a chilling high

the police breaking the heel

I want to drink a bottle of sugarcane

to fall asleep

capoeira oh lelê

capoeira oh lala

for King Kong, lelê, lelê

oh lelê, lelê, lelê, lelê, lalá, lalá, lalá

I want to live in this life

a great transformation

to play capoeira around the world

and spread me across the floor

good friends capoeira

capoeira of the heart

capoeira for the rest of the world

we are all brothers

THIS ART

FROM: TONHO MATÉRIA/WELINGTON

this art enchants me

and I don't want to leave anymore

oh! well said capoeira

that comes from my ancestors

from my master king kong

who taught me the ABCs

God pay you

god help you

I will never forget you again

I will spin the world

I will spin the world

spin, spin, spin

every jump is a prayer

every blow is a song

and what makes it take advantage

It's the malice of the nigga

that in the ginga sets fire

the hearts of maidens

among the precious stone

capoeira is the most beautiful

CAPOEIRÊ

FROM: TONHO MATÉRIA/EDYBINHO

capoeirê

capoeira

in the capoeira circle

no one will hold me

said master king kong

what to learn

you have to dedicate yourself

so in the sunshine

I'm going to play capoeira

It's an African art

that here in Brazil

has already been established

I slide my entire body

in the capoeira quilombo

capoeirê...

beautiful game with bamba

game with alabamba, monkey and carlinhos

game with master bozó

with Suassuna, Dirceu and Lazinho

my master king kong

capoeira already taught me

today the world teaches me

what capoeira am I

DANCE YOUR BODY

FROM: TONHO MATTER

ê capoeira aiá

it's a dance

that dances the body

back and forth

gives us meaning

the strong vision

capoeira is a union

prepare the spirit

and makes us delirious

capoeira game

to execute

capoeira iaiá...

educates the body

capoeira

it's a lesson

capoeira

teaches life

capoeira

for the yes of reason

capoeira

CAPOEIRA IS NATURE

FROM: TONHO MATTER

capoeira is nature

capoeira is nature

I remember the sky blue

where the rainbow is the berimbau

the sun is the tambourine

the clouds the somersault

I learned capoeira

Today I am a doctor of hers

capoeira is our thing

Salvador model market

MANDINGA

FROM: TONHO MATTER

Hey comrade

Come see capoeira play encore

capoeira has already entered the circle

and made the wheel spin bis

in the time of slavery

I played with my great-grandfather

taught me how to play the game

Today I am suspicious

capoeira and ginga and expression

in Bahia it has already been established

master bimba and pastinha are gone

but for capoeira

the seed remained

the boy is good

clap for him

CRAWL ON THE FLOOR

FROM: TONHO MATTER

I will spin

around the world

capoeira taught me

the swing of the revolution

Today you play black doctor

free white from the inquisition

play, play, play capoeirá

play that I want to see

play...

play the game I want to learn

capoeira is low on the ground

galloping, hammer, spur

the swing of good capoeira

It's forgiveness

SPINNING WHEEL

LET'S GO CAPOEIRÁ

FROM: TONHO MATTER

a movement

pure and ostentatious

guess about

our hearts

oh! capoeira

who looks bad at you

don't you know that your life

It's a union

moved by a need

concrete always distinguishes reason

if your strength

gives birth to a body

old or young is beautiful

and I say: then

let's go capoeira

capoeira is life

let's go capoeira

the source of knowledge

CAPOEIRA II SONGS

FROM: PUBLIC DOMAIN

There are four things in this world

It's a leaky house

it's a dull horse

It's a boy crying

and the house I retain

and the horse I trade

and the boy the mother cherishes

and the jealous woman

falls into the cliff

anteater how are you crown bis

auê, auê, auê, ê ê ê ê ô lelê, ler, ô

CAPOEIRAGE

FROM: TONHO MATTER

do berimbau, atabaque

tambourine and agogô

capoeira was born

capoeiragem, capoeira

she came to Brazil

in the colonial era

made angoleiro pastinha

bimba a regional

taught me to get into a circle

e nunca dá meu golpe em vão

capoeira é verdadeira

cada toque é uma lição

o nego que escorrega

e não cai na ladeira

joga capoeira

e sabe bailar, sabe bailar

tá na ginga

tá na vida, ê paraná

tá no golpe arrependido, ê paraná

dando um “aú” batido ê paraná

angola rola no chão

capoeira meu irmão

é a certeza do cativo do valor

CAMARADINHA

DE:TONHO MATÉRIA

CORRIDO

DE: DOMINIO PUBLICO

iê

iê tava pensando

certo dia desencarnar

e deixar a capoeira

something I don't know how to let go

oh! my god how difficult it is

this understanding

capoeira is life and fight

capoeira is nation

my master king kong

strong man citizen

he was the one who taught me

capoeira my brother

little buddy

long live my god long live my god camará

long live my master - long live my god camará

rooster crowed iê long live my god camará

cocorocô iê long live my god camará

around the world iê long live my god camará

that the world gave iê long live my god camará

that the world gives iê long live my god camará

drinking water

shrimp drinking water

capoeira game

Today I have a sense of it

capoeira is mandingueira

capoeira is contemplation

my son when he is born

I will ask the midwife

what will my son be

my son is going to be a capoeira

capoeira, catu

maculelê, maracatu

I went to the river

eat caruru

went to eat caruru

and don't eat angu

seaside

there is! it's by the sea

is the stream that runs in the river

is the river that flows into the sea

in the sea is the home of fish

I want to see who will play

It’s a gold cord by the sea

my mother calls it euphrosine

my father's name is dam

they made me capoeira

in your old shed

It's a gold cord by the sea

you capoeira, you want to kill me

You play capoeira there, I'll play here

SEVEN CROSSROADS

FROM: TONHO MATTER

I am, I am

I am maculele

and I don't surrender

I go and go

rowing life

in the tide of time

I've been close to the jungle

I've been close to the sea

I've been close to everything and nothing

now I want to play

maculelê for you

because my scream

echoes at seven crossroads

I am...

I'm from Maculelê

I put my feet on the fire

throwing baton

I am noble and warrior

facing the jungle of your illusion

maculelê

don't kill me no

don't catch me, don't cut me

with the tip of your machete

SAMBA DE RODA

FROM: TONHO MATÉRIA/ WELLINGTON

capoeira

already entered the circle

of the wobbly thing

wanting to samba

it's a guitar

it's viola

so thinking

that he is a beast

which is already on the wheel

and don't know how to samba

it's a guitar

it's viola

he is capoeira

yes it is bis

look at the orange blossom

hello bahia

smells more than mud

the Bahian already knows

the smell of the orange tree

I'll have it removed

orange flower

which is for my baby to smell

If you're on the line, raise the ox

lift my ox off the ground
