O Bôto

The Boto

O Bôto

On the inside beach there is sandNa praia de dentro tem areia
On the outside beach there is the seaNa praia de fora tem o mar
A boto married to a mermaidUm bôto casado com sereia
Sails on a river through the seaNavega num rio pelo mar

The body of an animal washed up on the beachO corpo de um bicho deu na praia
And the lost soul wants to returnE a alma perdida quer voltar
Crab talks to stingrayCaranguejo conversa com arraia
Marking the journey through the airMarcando a viagem pelo ar

Just yesterday I came from PilarAinda ontem vim de lá do Pilar
Just yesterday I came from PilarAinda ontem vim de lá do Pilar
I'm already feeling like going thereJá tô com vontade de ir por aí

Yesterday I came from PilarOntem vim de lá do Pilar
Yesterday I came from PilarOntem vim de lá do Pilar
Wanting to go thereCom vontade de ir por aí

On the deserted island the sun fadesNa ilha deserta o sol desmaia
From the top of the hill you can see the seaDo alto do morro vê-se o mar
Parrot argues with parakeetPapagaio discute com jandaia
If man was made to flySe o homem foi feito pra voar

Cristina, CristinaCristina, Cristina
Cristina, CristinaCristina, Cristina
Wake up, wake upDesperta, desperta
Wake up, wake upDesperta, desperta
Come hereVem cá

Inhambu sang in the forestInhambu cantou lá na floresta
And the old jereba took to the airE o velho jereba fêz-se ao ar
Frog wanting to join the partySapo querendo entrar na festa
Heavy guitar to flyViola pesada pra voar

Still yesterday etc...Ainda ontem etc...
Yesterday I came etc...Ontem vim etc...

Camiranga vulture master of the windCamiranga urubu mestre do vento
Vulture hunter master of the airUrubu caçador mestre do ar
Urutau singing in a lamentUrutau cantando num lamento
To sail the full moonPra lua redonda navegar

Still yesterday etc...Ainda ontem etc...
Yesterday I came etc...Ontem vim etc...

ah - ahah - ah

In the black cove seen in a dreamNa enseada negra vista em sonho
A sailboat sleeps on the seaDorme um veleiro sobre o mar
Reflected in the water mirrorNo espelho das aguas refletido
A sailboat sails through the airNavega um veleiro pelo ar
