Lyrics
O mar quando quebra na praia
É bonito, é bonito o mar
Pescador quando sai
Nunca sabe se volta
Nem sabe se fica
Quanta gente perdeu
Seus maridos seus filhos
Nas ondas do mar
O mar quando quebra na praia
É bonito, é bonito
Pedro vivia da pesca
Saia no barco
Seis horas da tarde
Só vinha na hora do sol raiá
Todos gostavam de Pedro
E mais do que todas
Rosinha de Chica
A mais bonitinha
E mais bem feitinha
De todas as mocinha
Lá do arraiá
Pedro saiu no seu barco
Seis horas da tarde
Passou toda a noite
Não veio na hora do sol raiá
Deram com o corpo de Pedro
Jogado na praia
Roído de peixe
Sem barco sem nada
Num canto bem longe
Lá do arraiá
Pobre Rosinha de Chica
Que era bonita
Agora parece
Que endoideceu
Vive na beira da praia
Olhando pras ondas
Andando rondando
Dizendo baixinho:
«Morreu, morreu, morreu, oh…»
O mar quando quebra na praia
Lyrics translation
The sea when it breaks on the beach
It's beautiful, it's beautiful the sea
Fisherman when he leaves
You never know if it comes back
Don't even know if it stays
How many people lost
Your husbands your children
On the waves of the sea
The sea when it breaks on the beach
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
Peter lived by fishing
Get out on the boat
Six o'clock in the afternoon
It only came at the time of the sun Raia
Everyone liked Peter
And more than all
Girl Rosinha
The most beautiful
And better feitinha
Of all the young
There from the arraiá
Peter went out on his boat
Six o'clock in the afternoon
Spent all night
Did not come at the time of the sun Raia
They found Peter's body.
Played on the beach
Gnawed fish
No boat no nothing
In a far corner
There from the arraiá
Poor little girl Rosinha
That she was pretty
Now it seems
That went mad
Lives by the beach
Looking at waves
Walking around
Saying softly:
"Died, died, died, Oh…»
The sea when it breaks on the beach
