- Capoeira Songs:
- Capoeirista:
Once I was in a coffee bar in London chatting with a friend of mine and she commented that her father was not a big fan of capoeira, I was intrigued and wanted to know why, how can you not like something that you don't even know? More than that she told me that her father thought that capoeira was connected with some kind of religious cult or something similar to that so I told her that I would write a song about it, because some times people say things about other people or about things that they don't even understand. If we want to talk about capoeira then come to capoeira, practice and train capoeira, live and learn about capoeira then you may say something! The music I wrote goes like this, lyrics below the video:
Lyrics: Casquinha Capoeira
Canta: Casquinha Capoeira
QUEM FOI QUE DISSE?
Quem foi que disse
Diga lá quem te falou
Que a capoeira é apenas brincadeira
É uma dança... E não tem o seu valor
Preste atenção e não sai falando asneira
Que existe na capoeira muita gente de valor
Quem foi que disse
Diga lá quem te falou
Que a nossa arte é coisa pra vagabundo
Mais não se engane...
Hoje ela percorre o mundo
Fazendo que o estrangeiro se torne um pouco brasileiro
Um capoeira sim senhor
Quem foi que disse
Diga lá quem te falou
Que antigamente lá pras bandas da Bahia
O sol desaparecia e não dava explicação
E a sim se fez... o dia virava noite
E trazia mais mistérios praquela escuridão.
Quem foi que disse
Diga lá quem te falou
Que hoje em dia eu sou livre como o vento
Mas não existe mais lamento em nosso jeito de jogar
Isso é mentira...
Estrela morta ainda brilha
Nos mostrando energia
Olhe pro céu que tu verás
Quem foi que disse
Diga lá quem te falou
Que a capoeira é uma doutrina a ser cumprida
Como uma seita e até religião...
Olha eu te digo, isso tudo é falsidade
Não se esconda da verdade, escute a voz do coração
Quem foi que disse
Diga lá quem te falou
Que eu sou como um andarilho, um viajante sem destino
E apenas sonhador... mas não se esqueça que eu sou um capoeirista
Sou poeta e sou artista como meu mestre me ensinou.
Quem foi que disse
Diga lá quem te falou

WHO TOLD YOU?
Who told you
Tell me who said that
That capoeira is only a game
That capoeira is only a dance and it doesn't have high value
Pay attention and stop talking rubbish
Because there are many people in capoeira with value
Who told you
Tell me who said that
That our art is for lazy people
But don't get it wrong
Today this art spread around the world
Making foreigners become a bit Brazilian
A true capoeira
Who told you
Tell me Who Said that
That back in time around Bahia
The Sun would disappear and leave with no explanation
And that was it... the day became night
And brought much more mystery with the darkness.
Who told you
Tell me Who Said that
That nowadays I'm free like the wind
But it doesn't exist more emotion in our way of playing
This is a lie
Because a dead star, also shines
And shows us it energy
Just look to the sky and you'll see it.
Who told you
Tell me Who Said that
That capoeira is a doctrine to be followed
Like a Cult or even a religion
But I can tell you that all of this is false
Don't hide from the truth, listen to the voice inside of your heart
Who told you
Tell me Who Said that
That I'm like a wanderer, a traveller without destiny
And only a dreamer... but don't forget
I'm a capoeirista, a poet, a artist... just like my master taught me to be
Who told you
Tell me Who Said that
