Lyrics and translation Dominguinhos - Riacho Do Navio,A Vida Do Viajante




Riacho Do Navio,A Vida Do Viajante
Riacho Do Navio, The Traveler's Life
Acho do Navio
The Navio Creek
Corre pro Pajeú
Flows into the Pajeú
O rio Pajeú vai despejar
The Pajeú River pours
No São Francisco
Into the São Francisco
O rio São Francisco
The São Francisco River
Vai bater no "mei" do mar
Will hit the "middle" of the sea
O rio São Francisco
The São Francisco River
Vai bater no "mei" do mar
Will hit the "middle" of the sea
(Bis)
(Chorus)
Ah! se eu fosse um peixe
Ah! if I were a fish
Ao contrário do rio
Unlike the river
Nadava contra as águas
I would swim against the currents
E nesse desafio
And in this challenge
Saía do mar pro
I would leave the sea for the
Riacho do Navio
Navio Creek
Eu ia direitinho pro
I would go straight to the
Riacho do Navio
Navio Creek
Pra ver o meu brejinho
To see my little swamp
Fazer umas caçada
Do some hunting
Ver as "pegá" de boi
See the "prints" of cattle
Andar nas vaquejada
Go to the rodeos
Dormir ao som do chocalho
Sleep to the sound of the rattle
E acordar com a passarada
And wake up with the birds
Sem rádio e nem notícia
Without radio or news
Das terra civilizada
From the civilized land
Sem rádio e nem notícia
Without radio or news
Das Terra civilizada.
From the civilized land.
