Full lyrics
Vamos simbora gente
Vamos todos navegar
Que o navio tá bom na marcha
Que o navio tá bom no mar
Linda menina, jogue essa tristeza fora
Vamos simbora pelo mundo a passear
Diga a mamãe que você vem sem demora
Que o navio tá bom na marcha
Que o navio tá bom no mar
Se a senhora tá sentindo uma agonia
Dessa que a gente tem vontade de enjoar
Isso é sinal que o navio é verdadeiro
Que o navio tá bom na marcha
Que o navio tá bom no mar
Conheço um velho com mais de setenta anos
Ficou viúvo preferiu não se casar
Falou pra mim que ainda vive navegando
Que o navio tá bom na marcha
Que o navio tá bom no mar
Translation
Let's go, folks
Let's all sail
For the ship is good on its course
The ship is good at sea
Pretty girl, throw this sadness away
Let's go wander the world
Tell mom you'll be back without delay
For the ship is good on its course
The ship is good at sea
If you are feeling an agony
The kind that makes one feel nauseous
That's a sign that the ship is true
For the ship is good on its course
The ship is good at sea
I know an old man over seventy years old
He became a widower, preferred not to marry
He told me he still lives sailing
For the ship is good on its course
The ship is good at sea
