Berimbau/Consolaçao [English translation]

Whoever is a man of good won't cheat

A love that wishes him well

Whoever keeps saying that they'll go, won't go

And since they don't go, they do not arrive

Whoever, from within themselves, does not leave

Will die without loving anyone

The money of those who do not give

Is the work of those who do not have

A capoeira that is good, will not fall

But if one day it drops by, it would be well!

Capoeria sent me

To say it had already arrived

It had arrived to fight

Berimbau comfirmed to me

There'll be a fight of love

Sadness, my friend

If I didn't have love (if I didn't have love)

If I didn't have this ache (if I didn't have this ache)

And if I didn't have suffering (and if I didn't have suffering)

And if I didn't have weeping (and if I didn't have weeping)

It would be best for everything to end (it would be best for everything to end)

I loved, I loved so much

What I suffered because of love

Nobody else has suffered

I wept, I lost my peace

Yet what I know

Is that no one has ever had more

More than I have had

Capoeria sent me

To say it had already arrived

It had arrived to fight

Berimbau comfirmed to me

There'll be a fight of love

Sadness, my friend
