Acalanto
Teresa Cristina
Lullaby
In every samba I make
There's space, I put the sea
In every samba I make
There's space, I put the sea
Mother Oxum, excuse me
I like to sail
In every samba I make
There's space, I put the sea
Sailor, hey, sailor, ah
Sailor, hey
The sun will get lost in the sea
Sailor, hey, sailor, ah
Sailor, hey
The sun will get lost in the sea
Do you remember the departure
You waved a white cloth
Hands in the air, restrained speech
Tears held in a lullaby
You turned your back to the sand
You never came back
And today I pray to the Siren
To bring back my peace
Sailor, hey, sailor, ah
Sailor, hey
The sun will get lost in the sea
Sailor, hey, sailor, ah
Sailor, hey
The sun will get lost in the sea
Mother of the sea saw the suffering
That I carry in the song
And stopped the movement
Of all forms of life
I saw my sailor
In the arms of Yemanja
I built my city
All around the sea.
Sailor, hey, sailor, ah
Sailor, hey
The sun will get lost in the sea
Mother of the sea saw the suffering
That I carry in the song
And stopped the movement
Of all forms of life
I saw my sailor
In the arms of Yemanja
I built my city
All around the sea.
Sailor, hey, sailor, ah
Sailor, hey
The sun will get lost in the sea
Sailor, hey, sailor, ah
Sailor, hey
The sun will get lost in the sea
Sailor, hey, sailor, ah
Sailor, hey
The sun will get lost in the sea
