Capoeira song “Tanto Que Eu Peço a Deus”
Boa Voz, ABADA
É tanto que peço a Deus É tanto que Deus me dá É tão pouco que eu mereço Mas I nada me faltará Pedi a ele a palavra Pedi a ele saúde Pedi a ele um bom mestre Peço pelo ar que respiro Peço pelos meus amigos Tem coisas que eu nem pedi Peço pra livrar da morte |
It is so much that I ask God It is so much that God gives me It’s so little that I deserve But I will not lack anything. I asked him for a word He gave me the ability to sing I also asked for poetry He let me row I asked him for health And strength to work God gave me the capoeira And a berimbau to play. I asked him for a good Master To teach me everyday God gave me Master Camisa With all his wisdom I ask for the air I breathe, For the sun that illuminates me It pulls me out of the dark night With stars that shine I ask for my friends, God gave me too much I ask for my enemies, May he give you much peace. There are things I did not even ask for, But he saw me dreaming I walked around the world I have stories to tell I ask to be freed from death For every Capoeirista And that Abada-Capoeira Be first in the list |
