Que eram os pais de Mestre Bimba
Manoel do Reis Machado

Em mil novecentos este fato aconteceu
Em vinte trés de novembro
O Mestre Bimba nasceu
A benguela chamou pra jogar
A benguela chamou pra jogar Capoeira
Bimba assim dizia
Tocando seu berimbau
Sentado no velho banco
Ensinando a regional
A benguela chamou pra jogar
A benguela chamou pra jogar Capoeira
Nos dias de formatura
Era obrigado a jogar
O São Bento Grande E o Toque de Iuna
A benguela não podia sujar
