Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Foi no atravessar

It was in crossing

Da ponte que eu notei

From the bridge that I noticed

a agua barrenta na beira do rio

The muddy water on the riverbank

Que até parece estrada pissarra e barro

That almost looks like a road of slate and clay

Que em lugar de carro, só se vê navio

Instead of cars, only ships are seen

Aeeh, só se vê navio

Ah, only ships are seen


Corta o verde da cana no canavial

It cuts through the green of the sugarcane in the cane field

Leva o barro vermelho para o meio do mar

Takes the red clay to the middle of the sea

E o vapoe apita e vai contra a corrente

And the steamboat whistles and goes against the current

Levando somente a vontade de chegar

Taking only the desire to arrive

Aeeh, a vontade de chegar

Ah, the desire to arrive


Vem cá cintura fina

Come here, slender waist

Cintura de pilão

Waist like a pestle

Cintura de menina

Girl's waist

Vem cá meu coração

Come here, my heart
