Whoever is a man of good won't cheat
A love that wishes him well
Whoever keeps saying that they'll go, won't go
And since they don't go, they do not arrive
Whoever, from within themselves, does not leave
Will die without loving anyone
The money of those who do not give
Is the work of those who do not have
A capoeira that is good, will not fall
But if one day it drops by, it would be well!
Capoeria sent me
To say it had already arrived
It had arrived to fight
Berimbau comfirmed to me
There'll be a fight of love
Sadness, my friend
If I didn't have love (if I didn't have love)
If I didn't have this ache (if I didn't have this ache)
And if I didn't have suffering (and if I didn't have suffering)
And if I didn't have weeping (and if I didn't have weeping)
It would be best for everything to end (it would be best for everything to end)
I loved, I loved so much
What I suffered because of love
Nobody else has suffered
I wept, I lost my peace
Yet what I know
Is that no one has ever had more
More than I have had
Capoeria sent me
To say it had already arrived
It had arrived to fight
Berimbau comfirmed to me
There'll be a fight of love
Sadness, my friend
