Toda Bahia chorou
Toda Bahia chorou
no dia que a Capoeira de Angola
perdeu seu protetor

Mestre Pastinha foi embora
Oxalá quem o levou
lá pras terras de aruanda
mas ninguêm se conformou

chorou general, menino
chorou mocinha, dotor
preta velha, feiticeiro
Ogans e Babalaô

Berimbau tocou Iúna
num toque triste de morte
e a Capoeira foi jogada
ao som da triste canção

Da boca do mandingueiro
de dentro do coração
e não houve na Bahia
quem não cantasse esse refrão

Iê, vai lá menino
mostra o que o mestre ensinou
mostra que arrancaram a planta
mas a semente brotou
e se foi bem cutivada
dara bom fruto e bela flor

Ai Ai Aidé
joga bonito que eu quero ver

Ai Ai Aidé

All Bahia cried
All Bahia cried
on the day the Capoeira Angola
lost her protective

Pastinha gone
Oxala who took him
to the  lands of Aruanda
But nobody was satisfied

General cried, boy
girl cried, Doctor
Old black, wizard
Ogans and babalaô

Berimbau played Iúna
a sad death rhythm
and Capoeira was played
to the sound of sad song

The mouth of mandingueiro
within the heart
and there wasn’t in Bahia
who didn’t sing this refrain

Ie, go there boy
shows what the master taught
shows that the plant broke
but the seed has sprouted
and were well treated
to give good fruit & beautiful flower

Ai Ai Aidé
play beautiful  I want to see

Ai Ai Aidé
