A Jangada Voltou Só
Dorival Caymmi
The Raft Returned Alone
The raft left
With Chico Ferreira and Bento
The raft returned alone
Certainly it was outside, some gust of wind
The raft returned alone...
Chico was the ox of the ranch
At the Natar parties
Chico was the ox of the ranch
At the Natá parties
The ranch was not rehearsed
Without Chico being told
And now that there is no Chico
What fun can there be
If Chico went on the raft...
And the raft returned alone... the raft left
With Chico Ferreira and Bento
The raft returned alone
Certainly it was outside, some gust of wind
The raft returned alone...
Bento singing songs
Made a lot of figures
Bento had a good chest
And there was no time to sing
The girls from Jaguaripe
Cried to make pity
Mr. Bento went on the raft
And the raft returned alone
