Full lyrics
Canoeiro novo vamos navegar
Vai haver festa no brejo
Eu também quero vadiar (bis)
Canoeiro novo
Tem dez anos que eu não danço
Canoeiro novo
Debaixo de uma latada
Canoeiro novo
A coisa que eu não relaxo
É um samba de oito baixo
E uma morena suada
Canoeiro novo vamos navegar
Vai haver festa no brejo
Eu também quero vadiar (bis)
Canoeiro novo
Forma a roda gente
Canoeiro novo
Lá no meio do terreiro
Canoeiro novo
Pisa na ponta da rama
Cavaleiro, roda a dama
Dama, roda o cavaleiro
Translation
New boatman, let's navigate
There will be a party in the swamp
I also want to have fun (bis)
New boatman
It's been ten years since I danced
New boatman
Under a trellis
New boatman
The thing I don't relax about
Is an eight-bass samba
And a sweaty brunette
New boatman, let's navigate
There will be a party in the swamp
I also want to have fun (bis)
New boatman
Form the circle, people
New boatman
There in the middle of the yard
New boatman
Step on the tip of the branch
Cavalier, spin the lady
Lady, spin the cavalier
