Meu patua - Song Tutorial
- Capoeira Songs:
- Capoeirista:
Contra Mestres Casquinha and Xuxo of CDO wrote the verses to go with this beautiful song. Watch the tutorial with clips of Casquinha himself in action, learn the lyrics, discover more of capoeira's rich mythology and become a better musician yourself.
A patuá is a sacred amulet, magical protection to achieve the famed 'corpo fechado' (protected body) and stay safe in capoeira. As Casquinha tells us a patuá can be anything that is sacred - his berimbau, his friends and the songs that accompany him on life's journey.
This capoeira song tutorial was filmed in High Definition around the time of the last Dec 2009 Batizado. Thanks to Kia for the cameras and all the participating Mestres in this video Mestre Gil, Mestre Simon and of course Mestre Poncianinho who not only hosted the event but really helped to make this video happen.

| Foi na Bahia que eu mandei fazer | It was in Bahia that I ordered to be made |
| Foi na Bahia que eu mandei preparar | It was in Bahia that I ordered to be prepared |
| Meu patuá meu pai | My Patuá my father |
| Meu patuá | My Patuá |
| Meu patuá para me proteger | My Patuá to protect me |
| VERSE ONE | |
| Era Domingo era um dia de oferendas | It was a Sunday it was a day of offerings |
| E eu levei flores para Iemanjá | And I took flowers to Iemanjá (the Goddess of the sea) |
| Foi Celebrar Janaina | It was to celebrate Janaina |
| Rainha menina | Child Queen |
| E Iemanjá que e dona do mar | And Iemanjá who is the owner of the sea |
| REPEAT THE CHORUS | |
| VERSE TWO | |
| Na Bahia um mestre velho mandingueiro | In Bahia an old master mandingueiro |
| Abriua a roda fazendo uma louvaçáo | Opened the roda singing praise |
| Canto o lamento bem forte | He sung the lament very strong |
| Me dando uma bênçáo | Giving me a blessing |
| Era hora de eu sair para jogar | It was the moment for me to go out and play |
| REPEAT THE CHORUS | |
| VERSE THREE | |
| Foi convidado a uma roda de gigantes | I was invited to a roda of giants |
| Com dois pandeiros e três berimbaus | With two pandeiros and three berimbaus |
| Um atabaque cantando | An atabaque (drum) singing |
| Maneiro e sereno | Smooth and serene |
| Era hora de eu sair para jogar | It was the moment for me to go out and play |
| REPEAT THE CHORUS | |
| VERSE FOUR | |
| Meu patuá e meu berimbau sagrado | My patuá is my sacred berimbau |
| E minha vida tambem também é meu cantar | And my life is also my song |
| É os meus amigos sorrindo | It's my friends smiling |
| Sempre junto comigo | Always together with me |
| Na volta que o mundo da | In the turning of the earth |
| REPEAT THE CHORUS TWICE | |

hi, check your browser, the site sometimes isn't showing up too well in Chrome. I would recommend using Firefox and not Internet Explorer. Firefox is open source and by far the best internet browser.
