Farol Da Bahia
Song Lyrics
Capoeira ficou triste
Pandeiro silenciou
Berimbau tocou Iuna
E o capoeira la chorou
Quando Mestre Bimba morreu
o farol da Bahia apagou
(Coro) Quando Mestre Bimba morreu
(Coro) o farol da Bahia apagou
Agradeço Mestre Bimba
Regional ele criou
Cresceu no Brasil inteiro
E pelo mundo se espalhou
Quando Mestre Bimba morreu
o farol da Bahia apagou
(Coro) Quando Mestre Bimba morreu
(Coro) o farol da Bahia apagou
English Translation
Capoeira was sad
Pandeiro silenced
Berimbau played Iuna
And capoeira cried
When Mestre Bimba died
the Bahia lighthouse went out
(Chorus) When Mestre Bimba died
(Chorus) the Bahia lighthouse went out
I thank Mestre Bimba
Regional he created
It grew all over Brazil
And spread across the world
When Mestre Bimba died
the Bahia lighthouse went out
(Chorus) When Mestre Bimba died
(Chorus) the Bahia lighthouse went out
