Berimbau

BADEN POWELL DE AQUINO, VINICIUS DE MORAES

Lyrics Translation

Quem é homem de bem não trai
O amor que lhe quer seu bem

Quem diz muito que vai, não vai
Assim como não vai, não vem

Quem de dentro de si não sai
Vai morrer sem amar ninguém

O dinheiro de quem não dá
É o trabalho de quem não tem

Capoeira que é bom não cai
Mas se um dia ele cai, cai bem

Capoeira me mandou dizer que já chegou
Chegou para lutar

Berimbau me confirmou vai ter briga de amor
Tristeza, camará

[Verse]
He who is a good man does not betray
The love that wants the best for him
He who often says he will leave, he does not
As he never leaves, he never arrives
He who had never been inside 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 capoeira never falls
But if one day he falls, he falls well

[Chorus]
Capoeira tells me to say
He has already arrived
He has arrived to fight
Berimbau assures me
There will be lovers' quarrel
Such sadness, my friend

[Текст песни Astrud Gilberto — «Berimbau»]

[Куплет]
Тот, кто достоин, не предаст
Любовь, которая желает лучшего для него
Тот, кто грозится уйти, не уйдёт
Ведь так никуда и не сможет прийти
Тот, кто не познал себя
Умрёт, никого не любив
Деньги того, кто не даёт —
Труд того, кто не имеет
Кто хорош в капоэйре, не падает
Но если однажды упадёт, то по-крупному

[Припев]
Капоэйра указывает мне сказать
Что мы прибыли
Прибыли на битву
Звуки беримбау уверяют
Что будет борьба за любовь —
Печально, мой друг
