A roda já começou
Solo
A roda já começou
Lá no fundo do meu quintal
Tem pandeiro, tem atabaque
Mas quem comanda é o berimbau
Coro

Vou embora, vou embora
Tão cedo não venho cá
Se você quiser me ver
Bote seu navio no mar

Era era eu, era meu mano
Era meu mano, era eu
Uma pedra deu na outra
Seu coração deu no meu

Solo
The roda has already begun
There in the back of my yard
There's pandeiro, there's atabaque
But the one who commands is the berimbau
Chorus
The roda has already begun
There in the back of my yard
There's pandeiro, there's atabaque
But the one who commands is the berimbau
Solo
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
I won't be back so soon
If you want to see me
Put your ship out to sea
Chorus
Solo
It was me, it was my brother
It was my brother, it was me
One stone struck another
Your heart struck mine
Chorus
Solo
Bahia, our Bahia
Its capital is Salvador
Whoever doesn't know capoeira
Cannot give it its true worth
Chorus
Solo
It was in Bahia
That I learned to vadiar
This game is from Angola
That I cannot deny
Chorus
Solo
My master taught me
In the back of the yard
That's how I learned
A rhythm of the berimbau
