Full lyrics
Maria, a maré já encheu
Leva o teu gereré que eu levo o meu
Maria, a maré tá cheia
Vamo simbora mulher
Goiamum cai na ratoeira
E siri no gereré
Maria, a maré já encheu
Leva o teu gereré que eu levo o meu
Siri é irmão de ostra
Mora tudo na maré
Goiamum também é parente
De aratu e xié
Translation
Maria, the tide has already come in
Take your fishing trap and I'll take mine
Maria, the tide is full
Let's go, woman
The goiamum crab falls into the trap
And the siri crab into the fishing trap
Maria, the tide has already come in
Take your fishing trap and I'll take mine
The siri crab is a brother to the oyster
They all live in the tide
The goiamum crab is also a relative
Of the aratu crab and the xié crab
