Full lyrics

De manhã muito cedinho

Lá vou eu para o meu banho de mar

Visto o short, sai correndo

No caminho é só dizendo

Praia boa é Cocota


Pulo pra lá e pra cá

Não me canso

Sou forte que nem Sansão

Tenho que ser véio macho

Dá fracasso, é muito baixo

Sou caboclo do sertão


Chego na beira da praia

Com Helena meu amor

Dou mais de vinte mergulho, opa!

Véio macho! Sim, senhor!

Reumatismo foi embora

Alergia se acabou

Para um banho medicina

Praia boa é Cocota

Ilha do Governador

Translation

Very early in the morning

There I go for my sea bath

I put on my shorts, run out

On the way I'm just saying

A good beach is Cocota


I jump back and forth

I don't get tired

I'm strong like Sansão

I have to be a tough old man

It leads to failure, it's too low

I'm a man from the sertão


I arrive at the edge of the beach

With Helena, my love

I take more than twenty dives, opa!

Tough old man! Yes, sir!

Rheumatism went away

Allergy is over

For a medicinal bath

A good beach is Cocota

Ilha do Governador
