Songs of Capoeira

Eu nao sou daqui I am not from here

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

Eu nao tenho amor I have no love

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

Eu sou da Bahil I am from Bahia(the bay)

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

De Sao Salvado Of Saint Salvador

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

Oh marinheira marinheiro Oh sailor sailor

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

Quem te ensinou a nadar Who taught you how to swim

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

O foi otombo do navio? Was it the capsizing ship?

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

O foi o balanco do mar Oh the rolling of the sea?

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

O la vem la vam Oh there(he) comes, there(he)comes

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

Ele vem faceiro He comes on his way

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

Todo de branco All in white

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

Com seu bonezinho with his little cap

Marinherio Sou I am a sailor (coro)

Under a wonderful bright blue sky
A circle of people
All singing in Portuguese.
The exotic sound of
Bells, bongos, rasps
Tambourines and a berimbau
All in harmony.
It is a Brazilian symphony.
A multicultural group
Standing on warm sand
In front of the ocean water.
The oceans breeze
Cools them as they play.
In the center of the circle
Two people are kicking and flipping
Never making contact with each other
But only centimeters away.
They dodge and attack.
Each trying to outwit the other.
Is it fighting? Is it dancing?
Is it play? Or is it sport?
It is all combined
It is Capoeira.

CAPOEIRA PLAY THE GAME!
