could I get a translation for these capoeira songs? Muito Obrigado! -Tartaruga CORO: Cantando as estrelas do céu, do céu, do céu eu revi o meu destino cada estrela era um passo meu para buscar o meu sonho de menino Mas quando eu era menino sonhava em ter um abadá uma corda na cintura, segura e um berimbau pra tocar CORO Eu posso ser um sonhador ter muita imaginação mas com a força da capoeira, tocando meu berimbau tenho os meus sonhos nas mãos CORO Mas o tempo vai passando continue na sua peleja um dia se Deus quiser, vem pro Rio de Janeiro buscar sua corda vermelha * * * Sem Capoeira Eu Não Vivo Mestre Charm Sem capoeira eu não posso viver Sou peixe fora do mar Passarinho sem voar Dia sem escurecer Mas mesmo rastejando Vou agacho para jogar Peço ao berimbau que toca E a Deus para me olhar Posso ficar sem comer Nem água eu beberei Sem capoeira não fico Porquê se não eu morrerei Peixe tora da água morre O día tem que escurecer E eu sem a capoeira Não sei o que fazer Passarinho sem voar E eu sem minha capoeira Passarinho bateu asa Eu fiqueí nessa tristeza ---

Here you go … Turtle Singing the stars of heaven, heaven, heaven I reviewed my destiny each star was a step to pursue my my dream boy But when I was a boy dreamed of having a abadá a rope around his waist, safely and to play a berimbau I may be a dreamer take much imagination but with the strength of capoeira, playing my berimbau I have my dreams in the hands ## But time goes by continue its fight one day God willing, next to Rio de Janeiro seek his red rope This next one loses a little of its meaning in the translation No I do not live Capoeira teacher Charm No I can not live poultry I am a fish out of the sea Bird does not fly Day without darkening But even crawling I squat to play I ask that plays berimbau And I look to God I can not eat I’ll drink no water No I’m not poultry Why not if I die Fish log water dies The day has to darken And me without capoeira I do not know what to do Bird does not fly And me without my poultry Bird wing beat I was sad that… It stops there. Was there more to it ? Tisha ---

was that a google translate? google is what prompted me here. with them the prepositions and pronouns are all screwey. the minute they and babelfish translated capoeira as “poultry” I thought: “Time to ask a real person.” lol ---

Nope wasnt goggle translate and last time I checked I was quite real LOL Edit to add, there are many words in the English language that do not exist in other languages which can sometimes make things unclear and not make sense but in this case they did use the word poultry in the song. Chicken is Galinha. The use of the word in English as a replacement for coward can be confusing to people of other languages and not come across clearly. Actually they say English is really the hardest language to understand because of the many different ways the same word can be used in a sentence. Tisha 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > songs aren’t lyrically as beautiful as they sound on the whole Thats because they are more chants then they are songs. These are written for the art of Capoeira which is a combination of African dance and martial arts. So while the words have no logical meaning to us and seem to not make a lot of sense they do to those involved in that culture. Not to compare it to other cultures but have you ever listened to rap music. Lots of times unless your part of that culture whats being said makes no sense in traditional English. However within that culture it makes perfect sense to those who can speak the dialect. Tisha
