English Translation

Em Marapanim

In Marapanim

Quando a Lua se levanta

When the moon rises

Traz junto com ela o suor da multidão

It brings along the sweat of the crowd

E na amplidão

And in the vastness

Ressoa forte o pé que levantando o pó do chão

The foot resounds strongly, lifting the dust from the ground

Põe no meu coração o carimbó

Puts in my heart the carimbó


E eu tão só, morena

And I so alone, dark-skinned

E eu tão só

And I so alone

Tomara que tu me venhas num canto de carimbó

I hope you come to me in a carimbó song


Vi tua anágua voando pelo céu

I saw your skirt flying through the sky

Rasguei, morena, meu sonho de papel

I tore, dark-skinned, my paper dream

Seremos como linha e carretel

We will be like thread and spool

Giramos como gira o carrossel

We spin like the carousel spins


E eu tão só, morena

And I so alone, dark-skinned

E eu tão só

And I so alone

Tomara que tu me venhas num canto de carimbó

I hope you come to me in a carimbó song


A Lua sai de madrugada

The moon rises at dawn

No romper do Sol

At the break of dawn

Ela vai acompanhando o namorado que é o Sol

She goes along with her boyfriend, who is the Sun


Oh, Lua, Lua luar

Oh, Moon, moonlight

Me leva contigo pra passear

Take me with you for a walk


O pescador quer beber, vai beber no Guajará

The fisherman wants to drink, will drink in Guajará

Vento no bote

Wind in the boat

Força no remo

Force in the oar

Canto de atravessar

Song of crossing


Senti a força do vento que vem do norte

I felt the force of the wind coming from the north

Levantei, peguei o bote

I got up, took the boat

Naveguei pra Gapuiá

Sailed to Gapuiá

Tava tão forte essa maré

This tide was so strong

Tava de morte

It was deadly

Quase que virou o bote

Almost turned the boat

Fez bote rodopiar

It made the boat spin

Virei a proa pro rumo de São José

Turned the bow towards São José

Pra não pegar contra a maré pra ver se dava pra chegar

So as not to go against the tide to see if we could make it


Cheiro de peixe, pitiú

Smell of fish, stink

Olho de boto

Dolphin's eye

Barco que dorme no porto de costa pro Guajará

Boat sleeping in the harbor facing Guajará


Vem, morena

Come, dark-skinned

Vem de Canapijó

Come from Canapijó

Vem mostrar pra gente como se dança o carimbó

Come show us how to dance carimbó

Quero te ver, morena

I want to see you, dark-skinned

Quero que venha só

I want you to come alone

Pra dançar o tipiti e também o carimbó

To dance tipiti and also carimbó
