Translation of the song lyrics Cirandar - Almaz, Seu Jorge, Seu Jorge and Almaz

Cirandar (original)

Cirandar, cirandar, cirandar
Na praia olhando para o mar
Pescador pega a rede
E vai pescar
Jangadeiro se apronta
Pra velejar
Cirandar, cirandar
Cirandar, cirandar
Na beira da praia
Com os pés na areia
Com as mãos enlaçadas
Balançando a saia
A cirandar, oi a cirandar
A cirandar, oi a cirandar
Ó, minha mãe Janaína
Proteja os pescadores
Dê boa voz pros cantores
Pra cantar as cirandas
E os maracatus
Também frevos pulantes
Que animam os carnavais
E as canções dos amantes
Um som de ternura e paz

Cirandar (translation)

Circle, circle, circle
On the beach looking at the sea
Fisherman catches the net
E go fishing
Jangadeiro gets ready
to sail
sift, sift
sift, sift
On the beachfront
With your feet in the sand
With hands clasped
Shaking the skirt
To circle, hi to circle
To circle, hi to circle
Oh my mother Janaina
Protect fishermen
Give good voice to singers
To sing the cirandas
And the maracatus
Also jumping frevos
That animate the carnivals
And the lovers' songs
A sound of tenderness and peace
