Lyrics and translation Mayra Andrade feat. Trio Mocotó - Berimbau




Berimbau
Berimbau
Kapoera ki manda-m pa tudu kutelu
The capoeira I learned wasn't just for show,
Pam txiga pam flau
From the first strike to the final blow.
Me sta bem pa bem luta
I'm ready to fight, to truly strive,
Ê fla po djobi pa mi
It sings for your struggle, and it sings for mine.
Ê fla po djobi pa
It sings for your struggle, and it sings for mine.
Bo abri korason
Open your heart,
Pamó ken ki ka sai di déntu del
Let whatever's inside come out.
Ta mori sen ama ninguém
You'll die without loving anyone,
(Ta mori sen ama ninguém)
(You'll die without loving anyone)
Quem é homem de bem não trai
A good man doesn't betray
O amor que lhe quer seu bem
The love that wishes him well.
Quem diz muito que vai, não vai
He who speaks much of going, doesn't go,
E assim como não vai, não vem
And just as he doesn't go, he doesn't come.
Quem de dentro de si não sai
He who doesn't step out of himself
Vai morrer sem amar ninguém
Will die without loving anyone.
O dinheiro de quem não
The money of he who doesn't give
É o trabalho de quem não tem
Is the work of he who has nothing.
Capoeira que é bom não cai
Good capoeira doesn't fall,
Mas se um dia ele cai, cai bem...
But if one day it falls, it falls well...
Capoeira me mandou
Capoeira told me
Dizer que chegou
To say it has arrived,
Chegou para lutar
Arrived to fight.
Berimbau me confirmou
Berimbau confirmed it,
Vai ter briga de amor
There will be a fight of love,
Tristeza camará...
Sadness, my friend...
