Full lyrics

Eu não sou daqui

Marinheiro só

Eu não tenho amor

Marinheiro só

Eu sou da Bahia

Marinheiro só

De São Salvador

Marinheiro só

Lá vem, lá vem

Marinheiro só

Como ele vem faceiro

Marinheiro só


Todo de branco

Marinheiro só

Com seu bonezinho

Marinheiro só


Ô, marinheiro, marinheiro

Marinheiro só

Ô, quem te ensinou a nadar

Marinheiro só

Ou foi o tombo do navio

Marinheiro só

Ou foi o balanço do mar

Marinheiro só

Translation

I am not from here

Just a sailor

I have no love

Just a sailor

I am from Bahia

Just a sailor

From São Salvador

Just a sailor

Here he comes, here he comes

Just a sailor

How he comes so jaunty

Just a sailor


All in white

Just a sailor

With his little cap

Just a sailor


Oh, sailor, sailor

Just a sailor

Oh, who taught you to swim

Just a sailor

Or was it the ship's fall

Just a sailor

Or was it the rocking of the sea

Just a sailor
