Life is how you play itThe berimbau calls (é me chama, camará). The berimbau teaches -Life is how you play it
- it teaches, my friend -
O jogo bonito (que eu quero ver).
Esse berimbau de ouro, It sings to us; Sings in our sleep, as we dream. And we visit far away places (Ie, Paranaue, Paraná). We dance out the mandinga, singing: Ie, viva meu Deus. (Ie, viva meu Deus, camará!).
We float like butterflies, sting like bees (a malandragem mata um, camará). And we dance the dance of freedom, Out in the streets.
At the foot of the berimbau
