Esse Rio É Minha Rua

This river is my street
Mine and yours, mururé
I step on the chest of the moon
I lie on the ground of the tide
(repeat)

Well, well
I'm not from the stream
Who rode the big snake
Doesn't ride on poraqué
(repeat)

Down the river, up the river
My fate is sugar cane
Just by talking about the damn thing
I remembered abaeté
(repeat)

Well, well...
I'm not from the stream
Who rode the big snake
Doesn't ride on puraqué
(repeat)

Answer me, black dolphin
Who gave you this piché
Was it sea slime
Or woman's stench?
(repeat)

Well, well...
I'm not from the stream
Who rode the big snake
Doesn't ride on puraqué
(repeat)
