Mestre Pequines' Event- First Roda

It was Wally! It was Wally from Passion!!!

CORO:
Foi Valdemar da paixão, foi Valdemar
Foi Valdemar da paixão, foi Valdemar

Foi angolero neto do peru vaz
Cantor famoso dos tempos la de traz
Foi canário e o mestre tanabíSiri de mangue que insinaron jogar assim

Coro.

Frecuentador da aquelas festas de largo
já se escutava su voz no barracão
Gunga voizero chamava os capoeiristas
Ate artistas como o notável carybe

Coro.

Foi a beleza também dos berimbaus
Que ajudo a seu nome a brilhar
Também alunos como seu Zacarias
Que conta historias também do peru vaz

Coro.

Hoje se lembram historias de Valdemar
Famoso Mestre que ele não tem igual
Da liberdade na avenida do peixe
Seu inconfundível canto não vai passar
