Eu Sou Bantus Capoeira

Eu Sou Bantus Capoeira

Querido mestre
Sua liçença me dá pra poder falar do grupo pra poder me expressar
É aqui no Bantus que eu gosto de treinar
Tenho aqui bons companheiros
Energia pra sobrar

Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Subindo o morro descendo a ladeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Eu jogo bonito e na brincadeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Martelo cruzado, chibata e rasteira

É brasileiro capoeira de valor
Deu a vida à essa arte
O seu nome é Pintor
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Subindo o morro descendo a ladeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Eu jogo bonito e na brincadeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Martelo cruzado, chibata e rasteira

Original Music and Lyrics by Leandro Couri (Titio) 1998

Alternate Version:

Querido mestre sua licença me dá
Pra poder falar do grupo
Pra poder me expressar
E aqui dentro que eu gosto de treina
Tenho aqui bons companheiros energia pra jogar

Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Subindo o morro descendo a ladeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
E Bantus Capoeira Bantus Capoeira
Eu sou Bantus Capoeira
Subindo o morro descendo a ladeira
