Cut Chemist Lyrics
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 que é bom não cai
Mas se um dia ele cai, cai bem
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 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 Câmara
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 Câmara

Lyrics Portuguese:
Quem e homem de bem nao trai
O amor que lhe quer seu bem
Quem diz muito que vai, nao vai
Assim como nao vai, nao vem
Quem de dentro de si nao sai
Vai morrer sem amar ninguem
O dinheiro de quem nao da
E o trabalho de quem nao tem
Capoeira que e bom nao cai
Mas se um dia ele cai, cai bem
Capoeira me mandou dizer que ja chegou
Chegou para lutar
Berimbau me confirmou vai ter briga de amor
Tristeza camara.
Lyrics English:
And good man who betrays not
The love that you want your well
Who says a lot that goes, will not
As will not, do not come
Who within themselves not out
Will die without love nobody
Whose money is not the
And the work of those who do not have
Capoeira and not good falls
But if one day he falls, falls well
Capoeira told me to say that already has arrived
Arrived to fight
Berimbau confirmed I will be a fight for love
Sadness camara.

I cannot stop listening to this song. It's a thing of absolute beauty, transporting you to another place. It's like being in a dream or something. I love it.

+Lowest 111 there's no problem if does. The real problem here is that YOU talk like you're sad.

This song will never get old. Perfection.
Fabricio Camargo
A good man does not betray the love that wants 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 itwill have lovers quarrel Such sadness myfriend

@Fabricio Camargo oh thank you
Fabricio Camargo
@mirrorhorsestudio Yes, it's an aproximate translation of the lyric to english. The lyrics is the same of the song 'berimbau' from Tom Jobim and Astrud Gilberto (you can see the original in here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uuSaOZg8hI ). It's a beautiful music in portuguese
