Riacho do Navio
Riacho do Navio
Corre pro Pajeú
O rio Pajeú vai despejar
No São Francisco
O rio São Francisco
Vai bater no "mei" do mar
O rio São Francisco
Vai bater no "mei" do mar
(Bis)
Ah! se eu fosse um peixe
Ao contrário do rio
Nadava contra as águas
E nesse desafio
Saía lá do mar pro
Riacho do Navio
Eu ia direitinho pro
Riacho do Navio
Pra ver o meu brejinho
Fazer umas caçada
Ver as "pegá" de boi
Andar nas vaquejada
Dormir ao som do chocalho
E acordar com a passarada
Sem rádio e nem notícia
Das terra civilizada
Sem rádio e nem notícia
Das Terra civilizada.
Navio Stream
Navio Stream
Runs to Pajeú
The Pajeú river will pour
Into São Francisco
The São Francisco river
Will hit the middle of the sea
The São Francisco river
Will hit the middle of the sea
(Repeat)
Ah! If I were a fish
Contrary to the river
I would swim against the waters
And in this challenge
I would go from the sea to
Navio Stream
I would go straight to
Navio Stream
To see my little swamp
Do some hunting
See the cattle grazing
Participate in rodeos
Sleep to the sound of the cowbell
And wake up to the birds
Without radio or news
From the civilized land
Without radio or news
From the civilized land.
