O Mar
Dorival Caymmi
The Sea
The sea when it breaks on the beach
Is beautiful, is beautiful
The sea... fisherman when he goes out
Never knows if he'll come back, nor knows if he'll stay
How many people lost their husbands, their children
In the waves of the sea
The sea when it breaks on the beach
Is beautiful, is beautiful
Pedro lived off fishing
He would leave on the boat
At six in the evening
Only came back at sunrise
Everyone liked Pedro
And more than everyone
Rosinha from Chica
The prettiest
And the most well-made
Of all the girls from the village square
Pedro left on his boat
At six in the evening
He spent the whole night
Didn't come back at sunrise
They found Pedro's body
Thrown on the beach
Eaten by fish
Without a boat, without anything
In a corner far away from the village square
Poor Rosinha from Chica
Who was beautiful
Now it seems
She went crazy
She lives on the edge of the beach
Looking at the waves
Walking around
Saying softly
He died, he died, he died, oh...
The sea when it breaks on the beach
