Full lyrics
Serena no mar, serena no mar
Um, dois, três, quatro
Cinco, seis, é minha vez
Serena no mar, serena no mar
Eu boto a cela numa rês
E no mato vou galopar
Serena no mar, serena no mar
Cabra danado
Nunca diga que me deu
Serena no mar, serena no mar
Oi diga que brigou mais eu
E quase morre de apanhar
Mas, serenou
Caminho lá da praia
Eu lhe ensino já
Espera um pouco e ouça
Um pouco de ganzá
Se deu pro cão, seu moço
Mas tem Deus pra dar
Mas, serenou
Menina olha e sai
E deixa a gente olhar
Quem diz que dá no couro
No couro não dá
No couro não dá
Serenou no mar
Serena no mar, serena no mar
Pra embornar
Espingarda é baioneta
Serena no mar, serena no mar
Laçando sou carrapeta
Só paro quando parar
Serena no mar, serena no mar
Deixa de fastio
E não me faça desafio
Serena no mar, serena no mar
Comigo só tem no trilho
Sereia canta no mar
Translation
Serene in the sea, serene in the sea
One, two, three, four
Five, six, it's my turn
Serene in the sea, serene in the sea
I put the saddle on a head of cattle
And in the bush I will gallop
Serene in the sea, serene in the sea
Damn fellow
Never say you gave it to me
Serene in the sea, serene in the sea
Oh, say you fought with me
And almost died from getting beaten
But, it calmed down
The path from the beach
I'll teach you now
Wait a little and listen
A little ganzá
If it went to hell, young man
But there's God to give
But, it calmed down
Girl looks and leaves
And lets us look
Whoever says they hit hard
Doesn't hit hard
Doesn't hit hard
It calmed down in the sea
Serene in the sea, serene in the sea
To load
Shotgun is a bayonet
Serene in the sea, serene in the sea
When roping, I am a tick
I only stop when it stops
Serene in the sea, serene in the sea
Stop being weary
And don't challenge me
Serene in the sea, serene in the sea
With me, it's only on track
Mermaid sings in the sea
