Vagabundo Confesso

I'm a confessed vagabond
From the class of '71
I've traveled the world
And never could find
A better place for a vagabond
Than a river by the sea
Odoiá odossiaba, hail my mother Yemanja
What did they give me to take
To Miss Janaína who is a mermaid of the sea
Bone comb, ribbons and bows
For Miss Janaína who is a pretty girl
Who is a pretty girl

I like breakfast in bed
With orange juice, papaya
Yeah, and a drink on the table
Tomorrow when you
When you go to work
Be careful
Not to wake me up
I sleep late
The night is my companion
Hail love, hail friendship, the trickery, the capoeira
It's the capoeira
