Cuidado pra não cair
Da galha do cajueiro

Olha o capoeira* é danado e mandingueiro
Mesmo assim ele caiu
Da galha do cajueiro

Já é tempo de caju eu vou subir no cajueiro
Mas cuidado pra não cair
Da galha do cajueiro

Ê moço esperto é jogador de capoeira
Mesmo assim ele caiu
Da galha do cajueiro

Meu amigo e valente e guerreiro
Mesmo assim ele caiu
Da galha do cajueiro
Be careful not to fall
From the cashew tree’s branch

Look at capoeira, he’s clever and mandingueiro
Still he fell
From the cashew tree’s branch

It’s already cashew time I’ll go up in the cashew tree
But be careful not to fall
From the cashew tree’s branch

Ê smart guy is a capoeira player
Still he fell
From the cashew tree’s branch

My friend and brave and warrior
Still he fell
From the cashew tree’s branch
