Letras Lyrics
Quem vem lá? Sou eu Who goes there? It’s me
Quem vem lá? Sou eu Who goes there? It’s me
Berimbau bateu The berimbau sounded
Capoeira sou eu I am Capoeira

Quem vem lá? Sou eu Who goes there? It’s me
Quem vem lá? Sou eu Who goes there? It’s me
Berimbau bateu The berimbau sounded
Capoeira sou eu I am Capoeira

Eu venho de longe I come from far away
Venho da Bahia I come from Bahia
Jogue Capoeira Play Capoeira
Capoeira sou eu I am Capoeira

Quem vem lá? Sou eu Who goes there? It’s me
Quem vem lá? Sou eu Who goes there? It’s me
Berimbau bateu The berimbau sounded
Capoeira sou eu I am Capoeira

É sou eu, sou eu Yes, it’s me, it’s me
Quem vem lá Who goes there
Sou eu Brevenuto It’s me, Brevenuto
Quem vem lá Who goes there
Montado a cavalo Riding on horseback
Quem vem lá Who goes there
Fumando charuto Smoking a cigar
Quem vem lá Who goes there
