Berimbau Lyrics


Astrud Gilberto Berimbau


Portuguese:

Quem é homem de bem não trai
O amor que lhe quer seu bem

Quem diz muito que vai, não vai
Assim como não vai, não vem

Quem de dentro de si não sai
Vai morrer sem amar ninguém

O dinheiro de quem não dá
É o trabalho de quem não tem

Capoeira que é bom não cai
Mas se um dia ele cai, cai bem

Capoeira me mandou dizer que já chegou
Chegou para lutar

Berimbau me confirmou vai ter briga de amor
Tristeza, camará

English Translation:

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.
