History and sentiment behind song
The word legal (lay-GAU) has a double meaning in Portuguese. It means "legal" as in "not against the law" which is interesting because capoeira used to be illegal. The Brazilian Penal Code of 1890 prescribed two to six months in prison as a punishment for practicing capoeira or deportation for foreigners. But legal in colloquial Brazilian Portuguese also means "great," "cool," or "sweet".
