Berimbou

Quem ? homem de bem n?o trai
O amor que lhe quer seu bem
Quem diz muito que vai, n?o vai
Assim como n?o vai, n?o vem
Quem de dentro de si n?o sai
Vai morrer sem amar ningu?m
O dinheiro de quem n?o d?
? o trabalho de quem n?o tem
Capoeira que ? bom n?o cai
Mas se um dia ele cai, cai bem

Capoeira me mandou dizer que j? chegou
Chegou para lutar
Berimbau me confirmou vai ter briga de amor
Tristeza, camar?

A good man does not betray
the love that wants the best for him.

He who often says he will leave does not leave;
as he never leaves, he never arrives.

He who does not leave himself
will die having loved no one.

The money of the one who does not give
is the labor of the one who does not have.

A good capoeirista never falls,
but if one day he falls, he falls well.

Capoeira tells me
to say I have already arrived,
having arrived to fight.

The berimbau assures me
it will have lovers quarrel.
Such sadness, my friend.
