Lyrics
A Ginga
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A ginga é a coluna vertebral
Sem ela é impossível jogar
Um bom capoeirista que se presa
Não pode lhe abandonar
Ele pode dá martelo, rabo de arraia e esporão
Cair na cocorinha dá galopante e escorão
Mais se não gingar
Nada disso vale não
Tem que gingar, tem que gingar
Pra ficar firme no chão
Tem que gingar, tem que gingar
Como besouro mangangá
A ginga balançada, mole, quebrada na cintura
Faz com quer o jogador respire melhor
É preciso obedecer o ritmo do berimbau
A ginga é quem define a expressão corporal
Aquele que não ginga fica no tempo olhando a poeira
Porque a ginga é o movimento principal da capoeira
