Full lyrics

Oi!

Todo ano eu vou

Esse ano?

Esse ano nós vamos de novo

Tocar forró pro povo, lá em Caraíva, na Bahia

É muita sorte!


Chegou o final do ano, que beleza, meu irmão

Eu vou pra Caraíva cantar meu baião

Rever os meus amigos que deixei por lá

O barquinho que me alegra é o mesmo que me faz chorar


Que me faz chorar, que me faz chorar

O barquinho que me alegra é o mesmo que me faz chorar

Que me faz chorar, que me faz chorar

O barquinho que me alegra é o mesmo que me faz chorar


Eu vou tomar banho de rio

Eu vou tomar banho de mar

Botar meu Ray-Ban pra ver as meninas passar

Comer nega maluca, com a Duca conversar

Comer pastel de arraia no boteco do Pará

Beber Netuno e Busca Vida numa rede a balançar


Eu vou tomar banho de rio

Eu vou tomar banho de mar

Ver o Caraivana no Bar do Porto tocar

Agradecer na igrejinha por eu ter chegado lá

O xote coladinho lá no Forró do Pelé

Só ir embora bem cedinho, você sabe como é


Eu vou tomar banho de rio

Eu? E vou tomar banho de mar

O barquinho que me alegra é o mesmo que me faz chorar


Chegou o final do ano, que beleza, meu irmão

Eu vou pra Caraíva cantar meu baião

Rever os meus amigos que deixei por lá

O barquinho que me alegra é o mesmo que me faz chorar


Que me faz chorar, que me faz chorar

O barquinho que me alegra é o mesmo que me faz chorar

Que me faz chorar, que me faz chorar

O barquinho que me alegra é o mesmo que me faz chorar


Eu vou tomar banho de rio

Eu vou tomar banho de mar

Botar meu Ray-Ban pra ver as meninas passar

Comer nega maluca, com a Duca conversar

Comer pastel de arraia no boteco do Pará

Beber Netuno e Busca Vida numa rede a balançar


Eu vou tomar banho de rio

Eu? Eu vou tomar banho de mar

Ver o Caraivana no Bar do Porto tocar

Agradecer na igrejinha por eu ter chegado lá

O xote coladinho lá no Forró do Pelé

Só ir embora bem cedinho, você sabe como é


Eu vou tomar banho de rio

Eu vou tomar banho de mar

O barquinho que me alegra é o mesmo que me faz chorar


Ah, Caraíva

Quem não conhece, tem que conhecer

Quem não foi, tem que ir

Quem já foi sabe como é

A hora que a gente chega no barquinho, aquela alegria

Quando vai embora é aquela tristeza de doer

Mas feliz, porque sabe que vai voltar

Translation

Hey!

Every year I go

This year?

This year we're going again

To play forró for the people, there in Caraíva, in Bahia

It's very lucky!


The end of the year has arrived, what a beauty, my brother

I'm going to Caraíva to sing my baião

To see my friends that I left there

The little boat that makes me happy is the same one that makes me cry


That makes me cry, that makes me cry

The little boat that makes me happy is the same one that makes me cry

That makes me cry, that makes me cry

The little boat that makes me happy is the same one that makes me cry


I'm going to take a river bath

I'm going to take a sea bath

Put on my Ray-Bans to see the girls go by

Eat nega maluca, talk to Duca

Eat stingray pastel at Pará's bar

Drink Netuno and Busca Vida in a hammock swinging


I'm going to take a river bath

I'm going to take a sea bath

See Caraivana playing at Bar do Porto

Give thanks in the little church for having arrived there

The close xote at Forró do Pelé

Just leave very early, you know how it is


I'm going to take a river bath

Me? And I'm going to take a sea bath

The little boat that makes me happy is the same one that makes me cry


The end of the year has arrived, what a beauty, my brother

I'm going to Caraíva to sing my baião

To see my friends that I left there

The little boat that makes me happy is the same one that makes me cry


That makes me cry, that makes me cry

The little boat that makes me happy is the same one that makes me cry

That makes me cry, that makes me cry

The little boat that makes me happy is the same one that makes me cry


I'm going to take a river bath

I'm going to take a sea bath

Put on my Ray-Bans to see the girls go by

Eat nega maluca, talk to Duca

Eat stingray pastel at Pará's bar

Drink Netuno and Busca Vida in a hammock swinging


I'm going to take a river bath

Me? I'm going to take a sea bath

See Caraivana playing at Bar do Porto

Give thanks in the little church for having arrived there

The close xote at Forró do Pelé

Just leave very early, you know how it is


I'm going to take a river bath

I'm going to take a sea bath

The little boat that makes me happy is the same one that makes me cry


Ah, Caraíva

Whoever doesn't know it, has to know it

Whoever hasn't gone, has to go

Whoever has gone knows how it is

The moment we arrive in the little boat, that joy

When we leave, it's that sadness that hurts

But happy, because you know you'll be back
