Vou lá pra beira do mar
Berimbau tocou
Chamou pra jogar

Berimbau porque me chama
Porque mandou me chamar
Quando escuto o seu chamado
Eu vou pra qualquer lugar

Vou lá pra beira do mar
Berimbau tocou
Chamou pra jogar

Berimbau tocou na roda
Fez meu corpo arrepiar
Só quem joga capoeira
Sabe a vontade que dá

Vou lá pra beira do mar
Berimbau tocou
Chamou pra jogar

Ai meu Deus se eu pudesse
Ser dono das tres Marias
Dava uma a Mestre Bimba
A outra a Mestre Pastinha
E a estrela que sobrasse
Eu guardava pra ser minha

Vou lá pra beira do mar
Berimbau tocou
Chamou pra jogar

I’m going to the seaside
Berimbau played
Called to play

Berimbau why you calls me
Why you sent to call me
When I hear your call
I’ll go anywhere

I’m going to the seaside
Berimbau played
Called to play

Berimbau played in the roda
It made my body shiver
Only those who play Capoeira
Know the will that gives

I’m going to the seaside
Berimbau played
Called to play

Oh my God if I could
Owning the three Marias
Gave one to Mestre Bimba
The other one to Pastinha
And the star that left
I kept to be mine

I’m going to the seaside
Berimbau played
Called to play
