Maior é Deus
Maior é Deus
Pequeno sou eu
O que eu tenho
foi Deus que me deu
O que eu tenho
foi Deus que me deu
Na roda da Capoeira
Grande e pequeno sou eu
Camará!

Iê viva meu deus
Iê viva meu deus, camará
Iê!
God is Great
God is Great
Small I am
That which I have
It was God that gave me
That which I have
It was God that gave me
In the Capoeira Roda
Great and small am I
Comrade!

Long live God,
Long live God, friend
