Melô do berimbau

__Lyrics__
Eu vou ler o beabá do berimbau
cabaça e o arame e um bom pedaço de pau
moeda e o caxixi aí está o berimbau
Berimbau é um instrumento tocado em uma corda só
Pra tocar São Bento Grande toca Angola em tom maior

Agora acabei de crer, berimbau é o maior
Agora acabei de crer, ié ié ié ié

Dance, dance, dance samba-reggae

Pastinha foi a África, angoleiro do Brasil
Pra mostrar a capoeira, pelo mundo se expandiu

Água de beber, faca de furar, mandinga de pegar, camará

Zum-zum-zum capoeira matou mais um
Matou mais um, diz aí pois é

Brown, Brown, Browm, Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown
Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown
Lá, lauê, lauê, lauê, lauá

__English__
I will read the alphabet, alphabet of berimbau
The gourd and the string and a good piece of wood
The coin and the caxixi, there is the berimbau
Berimbau is an instrument that is played only on one string
To play São Bento Grande, it plays Angola in a major key

Now I've come to believe, the berimbau is the greatest
Now I've come to believe, ié ié ié ié

Pastinha went to Africa, angoleiro from Brazil
To show capoeira, it expanded throught the world

Water to drink, knife to cut, mandinga to take down, comrade

Zum-zum-zum capoeira killed another one
Killed another one, they say, yeah
