Mandei Caiár Meu Sobrado v2
🇧🇷 Portuguese
Mandei caiá meu sobrado
Mandei, mandei, mandei
Mandei caiá de amarelo
Caiei, caiei, caiei
Meus amigos que são verdadeiros
Vocês é um exemplo pra mim
Em vocês eu hoje me espelho
Em nossa amizade sem fim
Mandei caiá meu sobrado
Mandei, mandei, mandei
Mandei caiá de amarelo
Caiei, caiei, caiei
Agradeço a Capoeira
Do fundo do meu coração
Pra vocês todos os presentes
Eu dedico essa canção

Mandei, mandei, mandei
Mandei caiá de amarelo
Caiei, caiei, caiei

I had my house whitewashed
I ordered, I ordered, I ordered
I had it whitewashed yellow
I whitewashed, I whitewashed, I whitewashed
My friends who are true
You are an example to me
Today I mirror myself in you
In our endless friendship
I had my house whitewashed
I ordered, I ordered, I ordered
I had it whitewashed yellow
I whitewashed, I whitewashed, I whitewashed
I thank Capoeira
From the bottom of my heart
To all of you present
I dedicate this song
I had my house whitewashed
I ordered, I ordered, I ordered
I had it whitewashed yellow
I whitewashed, I whitewashed, I whitewashed

History
The song "Mandei caiá meu sobrado" was written by Mestre Ananias. Mestre Ananias, also known as Ananias Ferreira, was a well-known capoeira master and musician. He played a significant role in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of capoeira. His contributions to capoeira music and traditions have been influential in the capoeira community. T/L: The chorus of this song is a bit awkward to translate white still trying to fit a song-structure, so I made adaptations for the above English lyrics. "Mandei" is "I ordered/hired people to do something", roughly. "Caiar" is actually "to whitewash" in English, in the sense of applying a solution (the composition may vary) to paint walls white.
