São Salvador

Paulo Cunha

It's São Salvador, Bahia

The afternoon died slowly

It's a berimbau if you hear it

There are people on the street passing by

Someone in the desire to fight

He made a provocative song

San Salvador

Bahia

There was a man passing by and he heard

Is this me? and spoke

If you want to play, let's go there, but I would go there but I'm not going

And saying he knelt

Whoever was nearby arrived

Two men said a prayer

They started playing on the floor

I'm going to play an Angola, Santa Maria

São Bento Pequeno, Cavalry

And the people watched, trembling

Capoeira to kill

High-end knife. stingray tail

In the dance of death of the place

That's when the police arrived

There were two bodies on the floor

Around the silence saying

Dude, this fight is over

but around the silence saying

Dude, this fight is over

But they played Angola, Santa Maria

São Bento Pequeno, Cavalry

And the people watched, trembling

Capoeira to kill

High-end knife. stingray tail

In the dance of death of the place

That's when the police arrived

There were two bodies on the floor

Around the silence saying

Dude, this fight is over
