A benguela chamou pra jogar
A benguela chamou pra jogar Capoeira( Coro )
Tudo começou assim
Hoje eu tenho que lembrar
De Maria Martinha do Bonfim
Luiz Candido Machado
Que eram os pais de Mestre Bimba
Manoel do Reis Machado
Coro
Em mil novecentos, este fato aconteceu
Em vinte trés de novembro
O Mestre Bimba nasceu
Coro
Bimba assim dizia
Tocando seu berimbau
Sentado no velho banco
Ensinando a regional
Coro
Nos dias de formatura
Era obrigado a jogar
O São Bento Grande
E o Toque de Iuna
A benguela não podia sujar
Coro
Em cinco de fevereiro
Do ano de setenta e quatro
Esta tristeza aconteceu
Na cidade de Goiânia
Mestre Bimba faleceu
