Menino quem foi seu mestre
Meu mestre foi Salomão
Andava de pé pra cima, ai meu deus
Com a cabeça no chao
A ele devo saber, saude e obrigaçao
sou discipulo que aprendo
sou mestre que da liçao
o segredo de Sao Cosme
só quem sabe e São Damião, camará…

ie via meu mestre
Iê viva meu mestre camará
Iê!!!
Boy who was your master
My master was Solomon
He walked with his feet in the air (implying a handstand), oh my god
With his head in the ground
To him I must know, health and obligation
I am a disciple who learns
I’m a master who teaches
the secret of san cosme
only those who know and São Damião, comrade…

long live my mestre
long live my mestre my friend
