Discover the story of the song > Berimbau – Astrud

The lyrics are about principles and values. It tells us that a good person doesn't betray the love that is good for them and that someone who promises a lot but never takes action is unreliable. It also says that if you don't let your emotions out, you won't be able to love anyone. The song talks about the importance of giving and working hard, and the consequences of not doing so. It mentions that good capoeira (a type of martial art) doesn't fail, but if it does, it does so gracefully. The protagonist of the song receives a message from a capoeira (or a person representing capoeira) that they have arrived to fight, and the berimbau (a traditional Brazilian musical instrument) confirms that there will be a fight for love. Overall, the song talks about the values of loyalty, action, emotional expression, giving, hard work, humility, and love.
