Escutei alguém falar
Que jogava capoeira
Era forte, era valente,
Não era de brincadeira
De verdade meu amigo
Capoeira é uma arte
Pra se jogar com emoção.
Tem que ser forte e valente,
Mas saber jogar com a mente
E com amor no coração
Eh, eh, viva meu Deus
Eh, eh, viva meu Deus
Eh, eh viva meu mestre
Eh, eh, viva meu mestre
Ai ai ouvi falar, ouvi falar, ouvi falar
Ai, ai, ouvi falar
Ouvi falar, ouvi falar
Ai, ai, ouvi falar
I heard someone say
That he played capoeira
He was strong, he was brave
He was not playful
In fact my friend
Capoeira is an art
To play with emotion
You have to be strong and brave
But know how to play with your mind
And with love in your heart
Eh, eh, long live my God
Eh, eh, long live my God
Eh, eh long live my master
Eh, eh, long live my master
Ai ai heard ‘em say, heard ‘em say, heard ‘em say
Ai, ai, heard ‘em say
Heard ‘em say, heard ‘em say
Ai, ai, heard ‘em say
