Full lyrics

O que vai com a maré

Pertence a Deus

O que vem com a maré

Pertence ao mar


E nessa onda eu vou na jaganda

Navegando, apreciando que enfrento o mar

Coqueiro subindo, rasgando no espaço

Sofrendo mormaço e a luz do luar


O que vai com a maré

Pertence a Deus

O que vem com a maré

Pertence ao mar


De longe eu vejo um cabra de palha

Na beira da praia so me faz lembrar

Com grande saudade da minha balaia

Aonde se espalha as ondas do mar

Translation

What goes with the tide

Belongs to God

What comes with the tide

Belongs to the sea


And on this wave I go on the jangada

Navigating, appreciating that I face the sea

Coconut tree rising, tearing through space

Suffering the muggy heat and the moonlight


What goes with the tide

Belongs to God

What comes with the tide

Belongs to the sea


From afar I see a straw figure

On the beach shore, it only reminds me

With great longing for my basket

Where the waves of the sea spread out
