Capoeira Music [Din - Din - Din]
Negro
My dear
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Chibata batia o sangue corria nas costas
The whip would crack and blood would run down his back
O negro vivia cansado de apanhar
The slaves were tired of being beaten
foi que eles fugiram para os quilombos
So they escaped to the quilombos
Criaram a Capoeira arte de matar
They created Capoeira, the art of killing
Eh capoeira
Oh Capoeira
Eh Jogo de negro
Oh game of slaves
Capoeira era a arma
Capoeira was a weapon
Usada na escravidão
Used in times of slavery
Eh capoeira
Oh Capoeira
Eh Jogo de negro
Oh game of slaves
Que sentia a força de
Who felt the strength of
Zumbi no seu coração
Zumbi in their hearts
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Houve gente que morreu mesmo sem viver
There were those who died without ever truly living
Abria os olhos directo pra trabalhar
They opened their eyes only to work
Cansados doentes famintos e sem amor
Tired, sick, hungry, and without love
Liberdade naquele tempo pra sonhador
Freedom, in those days, only a dream
Eh capoeira
Oh Capoeira
Eh Jogo de negro
Oh game of slaves
Capoeira era a arma
Capoeira was a weapon
Usada na escravidão
Used in times of slavery
Eh capoeira
Oh Capoeira
Eh Jogo de negro
Oh game of slaves
Que sentia a força de
Who felt the strength of
Zumbi no seu coração
Zumbi in their hearts
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
No rosto do negro correm lagrimas de sangue
Tears of blood run down the face of a slave
Que lembra de tudo que ele passou
Haunted by memories of the past
Chegar na senzala e ver sua noiva violada
To arrive at the slave quarters and see his girlfriend violated
Pros caprichos de um homem rico ou de um feitor
At the whim of a rich man or an overseer
Eh capoeira
Oh Capoeira
Eh Jogo de negro
Oh game of slaves
Capoeira era a arma
Capoeira was a weapon
Usada na escravidão
Used in times of slavery
Eh capoeira
Oh Capoeira
Eh Jogo de negro
Oh game of slaves
Que sentia a força de
Who felt the strength of
Zumbi no seu coração
Zumbi in their hearts
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
