Trago de lá comigo
A força de um povo
Da cidade
Salvador

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
Vou lá, mostrar 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

The strength of the land,

This force,
Will always be there

To ask our Lord for his blessing,
I come down with a lot of peace,
Feeling joy and love
To tell these people
Dancing, swinging and fighting

Feeling good and singing songs,
Positive vibes everywhere I go,

And I've got friends no enemies,
Meet me for the vip,
As we celebrate our daily wins.

Cos we no dey doubt And we no dey shake,
