A corrido sung by Mestre Waldemar on one CD he recorded with Mestre Canjiquinha.
Quebra Gereba, an expression used as an incentive to quebrar (break) the Gereba whose meaning is uncertain, since we can find the meaning of a hard nut, a piece of wood, of a beast or an erect penis!
There is also the word Jereb, which is a kind of black-headed vulture.
In all cases, when we sing this song in a roda, it invites players to tighten the game, not necessarily that they are fighting, but they deploy their skills in order to finish the game (one of capoeiristas ground for example!).
To make sense as close as possible to this expression, we use the French expression "Let's heat!"
Angola or Regional, this song can be interpreted in all caps classics (3 toques de Angola, Sao Bento de Bimba, the Benguela is not open to c kind of game!)
Quebra, Quebra Gereba! Quebra tudo
hoje, o que quebra Amanha?
Quebra, Quebra Gereba! Quebra tudo
hoje, nada Amanha quebra!
Quebra, Quebra quebra Gereba
tudo hoje, quem Amanha that quebra?
Quebra, Quebra Gereba!
Translation Quebra Gereba:
Let's heat!
Let's heat!
Break everything today, tomorrow what that break?
Let's heat!
Break everything today, tomorrow will not break anything!
Let's heat!
Break everything today, which will break tomorrow?
Let's heat!
