Canto de Atravessar

Crossing Song

Canto de Atravessar

The fisherman wants to drinkO pescador quer beber
Go drink in GuajaráVai beber no Guajará
Wind in the boat, strength in the oarVento no bote, força no remo,
Crossing cornerCanto de atravessar

The fisherman wants to drinkO pescador quer beber
Go drink in GuajaráVai beber no Guajará
Wind in the boat, strength in the oarVento no bote, força no remo
Crossing cornerCanto de atravessar

I felt the strength of the wind coming from the northSenti a força do vento que vem do norte
I got up and grabbed the boatLevantei peguei o bote
I sailed to GapuiáNaveguei pra Gapuiá
This tide was so strong, it was deadlyTava tão forte essa maré tava de morte
Almost capsized the boat, made the boat spinQuase que virou o bote, fez bote rodopiar

I turned the bow towards São JoséVirei a proa pro rumo de São José
So as not to go against the tide to see if it was possible to arrivePra não pegar contra maré pra ver se dava pra chegar

Smell of fish, pitiú, dolphin eyeCheiro de peixe, pitiú, olho de boto
Boat sleeping in the port on the coast of GuajaráBarco que dorme no porto de costa pro Guajará

Come brunette, come from CanapijóVem morena, vem de Canapijó
Come show us how to dance CarimbóVem mostrar pra gente como se dança o Carimbó
I want to see you brunette, I want you to come aloneQuero te ver morena, quero que venha só
To dance tipiti and also CarimbóPra dançar o tipiti e também o Carimbó

I felt the strength of the wind coming from the northSenti a força do vento que vem do norte
I got up and grabbed the boatLevantei peguei o bote
I sailed to GapuiáNaveguei pra Gapuiá
This tide was so strong, it was deadlyTava tão forte essa maré tava de morte
Almost capsized the boat, made the boat spinQuase que virou o bote, fez bote rodopiar

I turned the bow towards São JoséVirei a proa pro rumo de São josé
So as not to get caught against the tidePra não pegar contra maré
To see if it was possible to get therePra ver se dava pra chegar

Smell of pitiú fish, dolphin eyeCheiro de peixe pitiú olho de boto
Boat sleeping in the port on the coast of GuajaráBarco que dorme no porto de costa pro Guajará

Come brunette, come from CanapijóVem morena, vem de Canapijó
Come show us how to dance CarimbóVem mostrar para gente como se dança o Carimbó
I want to see you brunette, I want you to come aloneQuero te ver morena, quero que venha só
To dance Tipití and also CarimbóPra dançar o Tipití e também o Carimbó.
