Where there's Bimba, there's

Chorus:

Where there's Bimba, there's

Where there's Bimba, there's

Where there's Bimba, there's

There is capoeira

Capoeira is Master Bimba

In the ring it's three hits

For those who fought against Bimba

It was all I could handle

Challenge, challenge

Teasing in the newspaper

For anyone who wanted

Facing the regional

Choir

When you talk about regional

Nobody gets involved with Bimba

Speaking of numbers

The number seven appeared

Seven were also the days

When Bahia stopped

Mestre Bimba who died

No one killed him

Choir

Black Is Race

Black people are race, they are culture, they are tradition

Chorus:

The black race is in the blood, not in the skin

Choir

Back in the days of slavery

They came on a slave ship

Chained in the basement

His weapons were his hand and foot

To fight against evil

Of foreman and captain

Black people are race, they are culture, they are tradition

Chorus:

The black race is in the blood, not in the skin

Choir

There was a mixture, a miscegenation

Black and Indian were slaves

In the Brazil of slavery

These cultures have been mixing since

So. Giving us an identity

Building this nation

Black people are race, they are culture, they are tradition

Chorus:

The black race is in the blood, not in the skin

Choir

I will tell you with pride my brother

I am a son of the black race

Who caught without being a thief

Blood ran down the body to the floor

Sprouting capoeira hope

My brother

Black people are race, they are culture, they are tradition

Chorus:

The black race is in the blood, not in the skin

Learning The Lesson

Chorus:

Don't hit, don't hit, don't hit

The student is still young

Didn't learn every lesson

Be careful young man when you are baptized

If the student does not let go

Let the other one take you down

Choir

You play, let him loosen up

When he thinks not

And on the floor he will be

Choir

And when it's exchange

He doesn't want a scratch

So try to train

Don't be ugly

Choir

My Guest Friend

Don't change my friend

And don't be upset

I want to see you play

At the baptism wheel

Choir

I want to see you play

At the baptism wheel

You are not my student

But you are my guest

Choir

You play with respect

For you to be respected

Choir

Don't mess up my party

So that I don't get angry

Choir

If you make me sad

You are never invited

Choir

Call me to Bahia

Chorus:

If you go to Bahia

Call me and I'll come there

I want to see Bimba and Pastinha where they used to play

Choir

I'm going to Bahia anyway to play

Choir

Hi friend, don't forget to invite us when you go

Choir

I'm going to take my students to help me

Choir

Everyone talks about her but there were few people there

Choir

Maintaining Tradition

At the baptism in the capoeira circle

Master has to trip

For the student to baptize

Play boy, don't be afraid

This is just a joke

To maintain the tradition

Chorus:

Play boy, don't be afraid

This is just a joke

To maintain the tradition

Play boy, don't be afraid

Because playing with the master

Take this as a lesson

After taking the fall

You get the cord

Choir

And after that, your photo will take

Keep it as a souvenir

For one day to remember

Choir

Homage to Myths

Chorus:

Want to learn, want to learn

If you want to learn, listen to what I'm going to tell you

In capoeira, Mestre Pastinha is a myth

And it was with him that it all started

Not forgetting the famous Mestre Bimba

That one day he created his own style

Choir

Over time, many things have changed

We cannot forget the old Masters

Because if it weren't for the resistance of these masters

We wouldn't have a story to tell

Choir

Thanks to this, capoeira grew a lot

And look today where she ended up

From a simple place like the slave quarters

Today it is spreading throughout the world

Choir

Size is not a document

I'll tell you something

Listen to what I'm going to say

I don't have your size

But I can also hit

Chorus:

I don't have your size

But I can also hit

You in the circle gallop and tip

But forget about the trick

Something else you don't do

So play but try to develop

Choir

You come pumped

Thinking I'm going to shake

But forget my friend

That I already played with you

Choir

Gypsy

It was the gypsy who read my palm

Said one day I would change

I also said that capoeira

From capoeira I would go larger

Without capoeira I can't live

Read my hand again please

Repeat what you said I don't want to die

The pain is stronger when it is foreseen

I don't care about the crystal ball anymore

Take this evil away from me

Cool Game

Chorus:

Beautiful game, cool game

It has a berimbau, an atabaque has a tambourine

To start a circle you have to have

Rhythmic sound to cheer you up

Swing boot with mandinga and molejo

Hi, open the capoeira circle, go play

Choir

Hi, you have to have an instrument wheel

Without an instrument I can't get excited

So don't stop playing the instruments

This is how the wheel has to stay

Choir

Game above game below

What you can't do is you don't dodge

It has a berimbau, an atabaque has a tambourine

Making rhythm a way of playing

Choir

A Day in the Senzala

Who has been to Senzala one day?

Can you tell me how

Chorus:

Grinding sugarcane

Punching pestle

Black people were enslaved

Over the captain's eye

During the day he worked

Barefoot with feet on the floor

Choir

Black people suffered in Senzala

In the colonel's view

Where I looked from the balcony

Like lightning comes from the sky

Choir

But what a life it was

Today it no longer exists

How bad it was to stay

In the sights of a captain

Choir

This is the time

This is the time

This is the time

Berimbau played capoeira

Berimbau played I'm going to play

Chorus:

Berimbau played capoeira

Berimbau played I'm going to play

Free

Chorus:

It sets you free

Black people don't want to suffer

Free free

In the trunk does not want to die

I asked God from heaven

To get out of that nightmare

Suffering a cruel fate

He suffered on the slave ship

Choir

Your foot tied in chain

Without knowing what crime he committed

The whiter your teeth

The black man was worth more money

Choir

During the sugarcane harvest, Negro

From sunrise to sunset he worked

Scarred skin that bleeds

By the overseer's whip

Choir

Zombie Died

Chorus:

Zombie died, died

Died of treason

He fled to the slave quarters

For the fight my brother

Your quilombo was created

He baptized him with salvation

Where black people were

And I felt less pain

Choir

His mother he left

With the pain in my heart

Because I knew she would

Suffer in slavery

Choir

Only after a long time

What happened

The quilombo was betrayed

And Zombie dying

Choir

Boiadeiro

Hey cowboy, keep the herd safe

Boiadeiro is

Chorus:

Hey cowboy, hold on to the herd

Hi, hold on to the cattle, cowboy pro

Boi don't run away, cowboy is

Choir

Run to the gate

Don't let the gate open

The herd is running, don't let it

The ox runs away, cowboy

Choir

Self-respecting cowboy

Don't let the cattle escape

So close the gate that

The sorrel is already here

Boiadeiro is

Choir
