Capoeira me chama E eu vou atender Entro na roda sem medo Com malícia e segredo Pronto pra me defender

Capoeira me chama E eu vou atender Entro na roda sem medo Com malícia e segredo Pronto pra me defender

Com um pouco de molejo Vou de encontro ao berimbau Quem não sabe agora aprende É o arame, a cabaça e um pedaço de pau

Iê aaaaa, iê ooooo Capoeira me chama da licença meu senhor

Iê aaaaa, iê ooooo Capoeira me chama da licença meu senhor

Você dança e se defende Nesta ginga original Que mexe tanto com a gente Envolvendo até a mente Na origem mundial

__Iê aaaaa, iê ooooo Capoeira me chama da licença meu senhor

Iê aaaaa, iê ooooo Capoeira me chama da licença meu senhor! __
