O Pandeiro
É da nossa cor
O Agogô
É da nossa cor
O Reco-reco
É da nossa cor
Lauê lauê laueê, lelele lelele lelele ô
Lauê lauê laueê, lelele lelele lelele ô
It's in the blood of the Brazilian race
Capoeira

The Berimbau
It's our color
The Atabaquê
It's our color
The Pandeiro
It's our color
The Agogo
It's our color
The Reco-reco
It's our color
This song makes a connection between capoeira and cor (color), race, or ethnicity - specifically, Brazilian ethnicity. Capoeira's roots - from the music to the movements - come from Africa, but it was only in Brazil that the art developed into the form that it exists today. Thus, capoeira reflects not only the African roots of the Brazilian people and culture, but also its long history of mixing with European and Indigenous influences.
