Iê camarada
Vem ver o capoeira jogar
O capoeira já entrou na roda
E fez a roda girar
No tempo da escravidão
Eu jogava com meu bisavô
Me ensinou a mandinga do jogo
Hoje desconfiado eu sou
Capoeira e ginga e expressão
Na Bahia já se consagrou
Mestre Bimba e Pastinha se foram
Mas pro capoeira
A semente ficou
O menino é bom
Bate palma pra ele
