Full lyrics
As velas do Mucuripe
Vão sair para pescar
E eu vou levar as minhas mágoas
Pras águas fundas do mar
Hoje à noite, namorar
Sem ter medo da saudade
E sem vontade de casar
As velas do Mucuripe
Vão sair para pescar
E eu vou levar as minhas mágoas
Pras águas fundas do mar
Hoje à noite, namorar
Sem ter medo da saudade
E sem vontade de casar
Calça nova de riscado
Paletó de linho branco
Que até o mês passado
Lá no campo ainda era flor
Sob o meu chapéu quebrado
O sorriso ingênuo e franco
De um rapaz novo encantado
Com vinte anos de amor
Calça nova de riscado
Paletó de linho branco
Que até o mês passado
Lá no campo ainda era flor
Sob o meu chapéu quebrado
O sorriso ingênuo e franco
De rapaz novo encantado
Com vinte anos de amor
Aquela estrela é dela
Vida, vento, vela, leva-me daqui
Aquela estrela é dela
Vida, vento, vela, leva-me daqui
Translation
The sails of Mucuripe
Will go out to fish
And I will take my sorrows
To the deep waters of the sea
Tonight, to flirt
Without fear of longing
And without the desire to marry
The sails of Mucuripe
Will go out to fish
And I will take my sorrows
To the deep waters of the sea
Tonight, to flirt
Without fear of longing
And without the desire to marry
New striped pants
A white linen suit jacket
That until last month
Was still a flower in the field
Under my broken hat
The naive and frank smile
Of a newly enchanted boy
With twenty years of love
New striped pants
A white linen suit jacket
That until last month
Was still a flower in the field
Under my broken hat
The naive and frank smile
Of a newly enchanted boy
With twenty years of love
That star is hers
Life, wind, sail, take me from here
That star is hers
Life, wind, sail, take me from here
