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
