Dendê Maré
Abadá Capoeira
Dendê Tide
Oh dendê dendê tide
Oh dendê dendê tide
The fisherman is already going to the sea
He went to meet the tide
Looking for the good fish
As the Bahian wants
The Bahian prepares the fish
The fisherman brought from the sea
Seasons the stew
Dendê cannot be missing
Totonho from the tide
Was a great player
The wave rocks the boat
Like Totonho rocked
Pull pull, take take
Pull the net from the sea
If you're a good fisherman
Good fish won't be lacking
It's a full moon night
Fisherman returns from the sea
There will be a party in the village
Capoeira will be played
