Si Vai Pal Sur

If you go south
If you go south

Don't bring me a little sorrow
Bring me instead a don't forget me
Of salty water, wind, stone, and seashell

If you go south
If you go south

Don't bring me a little sorrow
Bring me instead a don't forget me
Salty water, wind, stone, and seashell

If you go south
If you go south

Bring me warm hands
Love and stew in the belly and go south

If you go north, there
If you go north

Take a fine one for the road
And go north

Bring me feet wet in the river
Bring the beard all messy
Aroma of the mountain and sugarcane field

If you go north, there
If you go north

If you go north, there
If you go north

Take my song with you
And let it lull you in your sadness
And smile at you in your joy
And remember me forever with love
