A força de um povo
Da cidade

Vou lá, jogar capoeira de Angola
Vou lá, mostrar capoeira de Angola

Força que tem la na terra,
Chamada Bahia,
Esta força,
Sempre estar

Vou lá, jogar capoeira de Angola

Subo la no Bonfim,
Para pedir a benção a nosso senhor,
Desço com muita paz,
Sentindo alegria e muito amor
Para dizer para esse povo,
Dançar, gingar e lutar

Vou lá, jogar capoeira de Angola
Vou lá, mostrar capoeira de Angola

Feeling joy and love

BR:
Erô baba mixoro ero mi baba cujadê 
Erô baba mixoro ero mi baba 
Ijexá toca com agogô, toca com atabaque 
toca com coração


foi vovô quem deu lugar ao batuque feito com amor
disse bem erô babá, som madeira ecoa pelo ar
quem cantava transformou cerejeira em boca de tambor 
quem tocava enfeitiçou pé na terra pé de beira mar

ENG:
it was grandpa who made way for drumming made with love
he said well erô babá, the sound of wood echoes through the air
those who sang turned cherry trees into drums
those who played enchanted feet on the ground and by the sea
