A Roda Já Começou
Song Lyrics
A roda já começou
Sinto o corpo arrepiar
Entre nessa energia
Capoeira brasil vai passar
A roda já começou
Sinto o corpo arrepiar
Refrão
Entre nessa energia
Capoeira brasil vai passar
Ei você
Que passa e nos olha jogar
Que sente seu corpo arrepiar
Entre nessa e aprenda também
Então vem
Que essa ginga de corpo é herança
Mandingueiro que nunca se cansa
Você viu capoeira brasil
Iô, iô, iô, iô
Você viu capoeira brasil
Iô, iô, iô, iô
Refrão
Nos somos capoeira brasil
Refrão
Você viu capoeira brasil
Refrão
É tão lindo
O aú, meia-lua, invergado
O corpo todo suado
A palma e o couro também
Então vem
Que essa dança de corpo é herança
Mandingueiro que nunca se cansa
Nos somos capoeira brasil
Refrão
Você viu capoeira brasil
Refrão
Você viu capoeira brasil
English Translation
The wheel has already started
I feel the body shiver
Get into that energy
Capoeira brasil will pass
The wheel has already started
I feel the body shiver
Chorus
Get into that energy
Capoeira brasil will pass
Hey you
That passes and watches us play
That feels your body shiver
Get in there and learn too
So come
That this body swing is an inheritance
Seeker that never gets tired
Did you see capoeira brasil
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Did you see capoeira brasil
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Chorus
We are capoeira brazil
Chorus
Did you see capoeira brasil
Chorus
Is so beautiful
The aú, half-moon, inverted
All sweaty body
Palm and leather too
So come
That this body dance is heritage
Seeker that never gets tired
We are capoeira brazil
Chorus
Did you see capoeira brasil
Chorus
Did you see capoeira brasil
History and sentiment behind song
The Roda (pronounced [ˈʁodɐ]) is a circle formed by capoeiristas and capoeira musical instruments, where every participant sings the typical songs and claps their hands following the music. Two capoeiristas enter the roda and play the game according to the style required by the musical instruments rhythm.
In a roda every cultural aspect of Capoeira is present, not only the martial side. Aerial acrobatics are common in a presentation roda, while not seen as often in a more serious one. Takedowns, on the other hand, are common in a serious roda but rarely seen in presentations.
