O discípulo e a arte (Mestre Paulo dos Anjos)

Solo
Iê
I know a bit about this art,
It was the Master who taught me
Then I passed it on to someone else,
I have good teachers
They are all well-mannered,
I will prove it to you, sir
I take pride in this art,
It was God who helped me, dear comrade
He's a mandingueiro,

Chorus
