Marujo

I'm going to tell a story to the Brazilian people
and also to the comrades who live in the high seas
The sailor leaves home and leaves the family crying
the children grow up without getting love from their father

He learns to steer and peel potatoes
He has a headphone where only ''ska'' plays
Maria doesn't leave the house to avoid gossip
That's why the sailor should never get married

''My dear, my dear''

''That's why the sailor should never get married''

He learns to steer and peel potatoes
He has a headphone where only ''ska'' plays
Maria doesn't leave the house to avoid gossip
That's why the sailor should never get married

I'm going to tell a story to the country people
It's about a stoner who was born in Ceará
He came to Brasília and slept with a woman
As soon as he had a daughter, he named her Maria José

''Her name is Maria José''

But time passed and he had to enlist
He chose the navy because he had never seen the sea
His desperate wife couldn't stop praying
It's because Zé Pereira didn't even know how to swim

''My dear, my dear''

And the rest of the story doesn't even need to be told

My dear, my dear
Northeastern stoner who wanted to straighten up

My dear, my dear
And that's why Raimundos will never end

My dear, my dear
