Astrud Gilberto - Berimbau

Astrud Gilberto - Berimbau

English Translation:

A good man does not betray
the love that want the best for him.

He who often says he will leave does not leave;
as he never leaves, he never arrives.

He who does not leave himself
will die having loved no one.

The money of the one who does not give
is the labor of the one who does not have.

A good capoeirista never falls,
but if one day he falls, he falls well.

Capoeira tells me
to say i have already arrived,
having arrived to fight.

The berimbau assures me
it will have lovers quarrel
such sadness, my friend.
