Capoeira Me Leva

Capoeira Takes Me Away

Capoeira Me Leva

I was living lifeEu estava na vida
Capoeira took me awayCapoeira me levou
And in the twists of the worldE nas voltas do mundo
It made me who I amMe fez ser quem se sou

Capoeira takes me,Capoeira me leva,
Capoeira brings me backCapoeira me trás

Capoeira is fateCapoeira é destino
What it wants, it makes happenO que ela quer ela faz

Capoeira's magicCapoeira mandinga
From way back in timeDe muito tempo atrás

Capoeira's in the worldCapoeira tá no mundo
Who would’ve thought, my friendQuem diria meu rapaz

Capoeira is loveCapoeira é amor
Harmony and peaceHarmonia e paz

When life ties you upQuando a vida dá nó
Capoeira unties itCapoeira desfaz

Capoeira is knowledgeCapoeira é o saber
Passed down from our ancestorsQuem vem dos nossos ancestrais

Capoeira is a sweepCapoeira é rasteira
Taking down the overseerDerrubando o capataz
