Full lyrics

Que balanço bom danado, esse pulso que vem do coração

Toca um fole, um zabumba atravessado, pandeiros com a costa da mão

Reco-reco, agogô, bagé, casaca, tambor grande com matraca

Meu Deus, que balanço bom


Caboclinho, umbigada, frevo, cavalo-marinho à beira mar

Batuque de viola pra São Pedro, chegança, sairé, cacuriá,

Capoeira é o povo de Angola, construiu nossa memória

Fazendo o Brasil dançar


Foi na roda que se desfez

Não se sabe se voltará

Terra de gente que canta e dança

Pedindo paz pro lugar


Caxambú, catolé, folguedo, ciranda, toré, bambaquerê

Barra-vento, balaio, baladeira, o tempo passou, nem deu pra ver

O bloco que sai dessa cidade, vem com a lua a claridade

Traz força pr'um tempo bom


Que balanço bom danado, esse pulso que vem do coração

Toca um fole, um zabumba atravessado, pandeiros com a costa da mão

Reco-reco, agogô, bagé, casaca, tambor grande com matraca

Meu Deus, que balanço bom


Caboclinho, umbigada, frevo, cavalo-marinho à beira mar

Batuque de viola pra São Pedro, chegança, sairé, cacuriá

Capoeira é o povo de Angola, construiu nossa memória

Fazendo o Brasil dançar


Foi na roda que se desfez

Não se sabe se voltará

Terra de gente que canta e dança

Pedindo paz pro lugar


Caxambú, catolé, folguedo, ciranda, toré, bambaquerê

Barra-vento, balaio, baladeira, o tempo passou, nem deu pra ver

O bloco que sai dessa cidade, vem com a lua a claridade

Traz força pr'um tempo bom

Translation

What a wonderfully wicked rhythm, this pulse that comes from the heart

Play an accordion, a cross-beat zabumba, tambourines with the back of the hand

Reco-reco, agogô, bagé, casaca, big drum with a rattle

My God, what a wonderful rhythm


Caboclinho, umbigada, frevo, seahorse by the sea

Viola drumming for Saint Peter, chegança, sairé, cacuriá

Capoeira is the people of Angola, built our memory

Making Brazil dance


It was in the circle that it fell apart

It is not known if it will return

Land of people who sing and dance

Asking for peace for the place


Caxambú, catolé, revelry, ciranda, toré, bambaquerê

Barra-vento, balaio, baladeira, time passed, didn't even see it

The bloco that leaves this city, comes with the moon, the clarity

Brings strength for a good time


What a wonderfully wicked rhythm, this pulse that comes from the heart

Reco-reco, agogô, bagé, casaca, big drum with a rattle

Caboclinho, umbigada, frevo, seahorse by the sea

Viola drumming for Saint Peter, chegança, sairé, cacuriá

Capoeira is the people of Angola, built our memory

The bloco that leaves this city, comes with the moon, the clarity

Brings strength for a good time
