Paraná and, Paraná and, Paraná

When I was a child

Who played capoeira

The older ones said so

This boy is no joke

Look at the stingray's tail, crossed hammer

Half moon and the fall of the slope

Capoeira in the past, old colleague

There was a lot of tradition

Look, the masters sang songs

From the bottom of the heart

Capoeira nowadays

I don't know where it will end

But I remember a song

Who heard my master sing

He said:

The women crying,

And the men on the floor

The children moaning,

And the foreman with the whip in his hand

And the foreman with the whip in his hand

The black man's son was a slave

The colonel's had freedom

To study in the capital

And the black

Where the black man's pencil was a sickle

And the notebook

Cane field

Come let's go

That waiting is not knowing

Who knows, maybe it's time

Don't expect it to happen

Who knows, maybe it's time

Don't expect it to happen

If I'm going to be Capoeira

Or in life I will be a Doctor

Or in life I will be a Doctor
