Canto de Atravessar
Banda Calypso
Crossing Song
The fisherman wants to drink
Will drink at Guajará
Wind in the boat, strength in the oar,
Crossing song
The fisherman wants to drink
Will drink at Guajará
Wind in the boat, strength in the oar
Crossing song
Feeling the force of the wind coming from the north
I got up, took the boat
Sailed to Gapuiá
The tide was so strong, it was deadly
Almost capsized the boat, made the boat spin
I turned the bow towards São José
To avoid going against the tide, to see if I could make it
Smell of fish, pitiú, eye of the boto
Boat sleeping in the port facing Guajará
Come, brunette, come from Canapijó
Come show us how to dance Carimbó
I want to see you, brunette, I want you to come alone
To dance the tipiti and also the Carimbó
Feeling the force of the wind coming from the north
I got up, took the boat
Sailed to Gapuiá
The tide was so strong, it was deadly
Almost capsized the boat, made the boat spin
I turned the bow towards São José
To avoid going against the tide
To see if I could make it
Smell of fish, pitiú, eye of the boto
Boat sleeping in the port facing Guajará
Come, brunette, come from Canapijó
Come show us how to dance Carimbó
I want to see you, brunette, I want you to come alone
To dance the Tipití and also the Carimbó.
