| My raft will go out to sea
|
| I'm going to work, my dear
|
| If God willing when I come back from the sea
|
| A good fish I will bring
|
| My companions will also return
|
| And to God in heaven let's thank
|
| «My raft goes. |
| It's another day in a fisherman's life. |
| But someone on earth
|
| waits for the fisherman. |
| She promises in her goodbye a prayer to have good dengo so that
|
| he can come back. |
| And she promises, on her return, a soft bed, scented with
|
| rosemary. |
| Sabiá girl of the charms and seductions of Iemanjá. |
| And she knows more,
|
| she knows the sea is a traitor. »
|
| Goodbye goodbye
|
| Fisherman don't forget me
|
| I'll pray for a good time, my nigga
|
| To not have bad time
|
| I will make your soft bed
|
| scented with rosemary
|
| «But the fisherman is not betrayed by the sun or the sea. |
| His biggest enemy is
|
| wind. |
| It's the strong wind that knocks your raft down. |
| It's the strong wind that waves the
|
| sea water. |
| It is the strong wind that kills the man, that hides the fish,
|
| that rips the sail from its raft. |
| It's the strong wind that makes the storm.
|
| In weather like this, you can't go to sea. |
| Who goes to the sea, does not come.”

| «On the edge of the beach, looking at the sky and the sea, are the eyes of the bride.
|
| Rosinha de Chica, the prettiest of all the girls there in the arraial.
|
| And it is thinking of her that the fisherman goes. |
| It is for her love that he has courage in
|
| chest."
|
| It's so sad to see someone go
|
| That we want with so much love
|
| And endure the agony
|
| of waiting to come back
|
| Living looking at the sky and the sea
|
| The uncertainty to torture
|
| We are alone
|
| So alone
|
| We are alone
|
| So alone
|
| It's sad to wait
|
| «The fisherman says it is sweet to die at sea. |
| The bride, that Rosinha from Chica,
|
| was betrayed. |
| Betrayed by Iemanjá, the queen of the sea, where the fisherman made his bed
|
| I got engaged, and the raft came back alone.»

| Goodbye, brother! |
| Goodbye!

|
| «And the next morning, despite everything, the fisherman returns. |
| The sea, fish,
|
| the waves of the sea: Everything is a new hope.»
|
| My raft will go out to sea
|
| I'm going to work, my dear
|
| If God willing when I come back from the sea
|
| A good fish I will bring
|
| My companions will also return
|
| And to God in heaven let's thank
|
| «And he goes. |
| With the courage that Rosinha de Chica gives you. |
| Seduced, who knows,
|
| by the charms of Iemanjá, and in search for good fish, if God willing.” |
