Canto de Carimbó / Lua Luar / Canto de Atravessar
Banda Calypso
Song of Carimbó / Moonlight / Song of Crossing
Hello my Pará!
This song is for you
In Marapani when the Moon rises
It brings along with it the sweat of the crowd
And in the vastness, the foot resounds strongly, raising the dust from the ground
Puts the carimbó in my heart
And I so alone, dark-skinned, and I so alone
I hope you come to me in a carimbó song
And I so alone, dark-skinned, and I so alone
I hope you come to me in a carimbó song
I saw your petticoat flying through the sky
I tore, dark-skinned, my paper dream
We will be like thread and spool
We spin as the carousel spins
And I so alone, dark-skinned, and I so alone
I hope you come to me in a carimbó song
And I so alone, dark-skinned, and I so alone
I hope you come to me in a carimbó song
Calypso Band!
The Moon comes out in the early morning at sunrise
She goes along with her boyfriend, the Sun
The Moon comes out in the early morning at sunrise
She goes along with her boyfriend, the Sun
Oh, Moon, Moon, moonlight take me with you for a walk
Oh, Moon, Moon, moonlight take me with you for a walk
Oh, Moon, Moon, moonlight take me with you for a walk
Oh, Moon, Moon, moonlight take me with you for a walk
The fisherman wants to drink
He will drink in Guajará
Wind in the boat, strength in the oar
Crossing song
The fisherman wants to drink
He will drink in Guajará
Wind in the boat, strength in the oar
Crossing song
I felt the force of the wind coming from the north
I got up, took the boat
Sailed to gapuiar
The tide was so strong, it was deadly
Almost overturned 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 pitiú fish, eye of boto
Boat sleeping in the port
Facing Guajará
Smell of pitiú fish, eye of boto
Boat sleeping in the port
Facing Guajará
Come dark-skinned, come from Canapijó
Come show us how to dance carimbó
I want to see you dark-skinned, I want you to come alone
To dance tipiti and also carimbó
