It’s not capo, but it’s Portuguese…

Se você fosse um pirata, você teria o seu papagaio este ombro ou este ombro?

If you were a pirate, would you have your parrot on this shoulder or this shoulder?
(and that’s where you move your arm from one shoulder to the other and then are holding them )

Alvaro—no way. Unless it’s just the Portuguese and they don’t actually understand the words? Either way, that *is* a shame. I don’t think any pick-up lines are good for anything more than a laugh!

Haha, thanks Faisca!

Oi Joaninha

Sorry about that. I always mix the languages and forget to translate. So, basically the translation is that what you said. And even sounding very-extra-too lame, it’s commonly use it around here…

You know, that fake-Pelô*-capoeiristas

The shame is there exist some gringas that still fall in that lame pick-up lines

By the way, I’m not brazilian. I’m from Chile, so, portuguese is not my primary language

Cya around

* Pelô: short for Pelourinho

Salve, Alvaro! You mean I don’t have anything to envy Bahia street minstrels, which makes sense (and I don’t know if I’d be particularly proud if I did). XD I have got to get myself into a Portuguese class one of these days…what did you say? From extrapolation and context, is it something along the lines of “Hey kitten, how would you like to spend the night at my place for a personal capoeira lesson?”

Haha Branca…thanks XD

Leão – I would think you have way more/better reasons to improve your game than that! But in case you didn’t notice, all of the lines are actually gender-neutral, so they can be used by anyone, on anyone.

And sure, me being a boy… I just spend my time praying to all the orixas for better game so that I might not try to use those lines…

Oi Joaninha
Those guys with their pick-up lines don’t have anything to envy to our Bahia street minstrels and their own ones.

Like, “e aí gata, quer vir pra meu apartamento hoje de noite pra ter aulas de capoeira personalizadas?”

E ainda tem gringa que caí na conversa…

Fala serio!
