Esse Rio é Minha Rua

This river is my street
Mine and yours, mururé
I step on the moon's chest
I lie on the tide's ground

Well, well
I'm not from the stream
Who rode the big snake
Doesn't ride the purequé

Down the river, up the river
My fate is sugar cane
Just thinking about the damn thing
I remembered Abaeté
CHORUS

Well, well...
I'm not from the stream
Who rode the big snake
Doesn't ride the purequé

Answer me, black dolphin
Who gave you that scar
Was it seaweed slime
Or woman's stench?
CHORUS

Well, well...
I'm not from the stream
Who rode the big snake
Doesn't ride the purequé
