Song Lyrics
Iniciante,eu entendo a euforia
Logo que você entrou nessa academia
Tenho bem mais tempo
e essa arte ainda me encanta
Mas água demais,até mesmo
mata a planta
Oi devagar se chega lá
Devagar se chega lá
Devagar se chega lá
Devagar se chega lá
primeiro passo
de um longo caminho
vá devagar, vá bem devagarinho
Fogo de palha acaba logo
isso é um fato
E é de grão em grão
que a galinha enche o papo
Oi, devagar se chega lá
devagar se chega lá
devagar se chega lá
devagar se chega lá
tá com pressa de chegar
devagar se chega lá
English Translation
Beginner, I understand the euphoria
As soon as you entered this academy
I have a lot more time
and this art still enchants me
But too much water, even
kills the plant
Hi slowly if you get there
Slowly get there
Slowly get there
Slowly get there
first step
a long way
go slow, go very slowly
The flash in the pan ends soon
this is a fact
And it's grain by grain
that the chicken fills the crop
Hi, slowly get there
slowly if you get there
slowly if you get there
slowly if you get there
is in a hurry to arrive
slowly if you get there
History and sentiment behind song
This song is one of the most important lesson for any starting Capoeirista. It reflects how patience is the key in capoeira as it takes a long time to develop coordination, speed, flexibility and fast reactions. Trying to progress too quickly will just result in frustration and possibly injury.
