No mar
a sereia cantou
Quando o navio negreiro
as águas atravessou
No mar
A sereia cantou
Quando o navio negreiro
as águas atravessou
O peixe que pula no mar
Carangueijo que anda na areia
Entra na roda de bamba
Venha jogar Capoeira
No mar
A sereia cantou
Quando o navio negreiro
as águas atravessou
At sea
the mermaid sang
When the slave ship
crossed the waters
At sea
the mermaid sang
When the slave ship
crossed the waters
The fish that jumps into the sea
Crab walking on the sand
Enter the roda of the skillful
Come play Capoeira
At sea
the mermaid sang
When the slave ship
crossed the waters
