Foiii
Foi no clarão da lua
que eu vi acontecer
num vale-tudo com o jiu-jitsu
o Capoeira vencer, mas foi
Foiii
Foi no clarão da lua
que eu vi acontecer
Num vale-tudo com o jiu-jitsu
o Capoeira vencer
Deu armada, deu rasteira
meia lua e a ponteira
Logo no primeiro round
venceu o Capoeira
Em baixo do ringue
o mestre Bimba vibrava
tocando seu berimbau
enquanto a gente cantava, mas foi
Foiii
Foi no clarão da lua
que eu vi acontecer
Num vale-tudo com o jiu-jitsu
o Capoeira vencer
It was
It was in the moonlight
that I saw it happening
In a freefight with jiu-jitsu
the capoeirista won
It was
It was in the moonlight
that I saw it happening
In a freefight with jiu-jitsu
the capoeirista won
He gave an armada, he gave a rasteira
a meia lua and a ponteira
Yet in the first round
the capoeirista won
Below the ring
Mestre Bimba was thrilled
playing his berimbau
while we sung
It was
It was in the moonlight
that I saw it happening
In a freefight with jiu-jitsu
the capoeirista won
