Lyrics
Nasceu num barco pesqueiro
Pescava desde menino
Mestre das águas proeiro
Do litoral nordestino
Em roda de jangadeiro
Deixou seu nome quirino
Quem vive em chão de saveiro
É o chão do mar seu destino
Foi isso que deu-se um dia
Cação virou seu veleiro
Foi luta de valentia
Do peixe contra o barqueiro
Sangue, suor, maresia
O ar ficou com esse cheiro
Subia água e batia
Tudo sumiu no aguaceiro
Houve arrastão na baía
Do quebra-mar à costeira
Do fundo nada surgia
Só da jangada a madeira
As moças em romaria
Puxavam reza praieira
No fim do sétimo dia
Fez-se a oração derradeira
A sua história foi bela
Virou cordel seu destino
Tem nome em pano de vela
Verso em chegança e divino
Mas uma moça donzela
Teve depois um menino
A cara do filho dela
Era de novo quirino
Lyrics translation
Born on a fishing boat
I've been fishing since I was a boy.
Master of the waters proeiro
Of the northeast coast
In Roda de jangadeiro
Left his name quirino
Who lives in chão de saveiro
Is the sea floor your destiny
That's what happened one day
Cation turned his sailboat
It was bravery struggle
Of the fish against the boatman
Blood, sweat, maresia
The air got that smell
Water went up and hit
Everything disappeared in the downpour
There was fish in the Bay
From the breakwater to the coastal
From the bottom nothing arose
Only from the raft to Wood
The girls in pilgrimage
Pulled reza Beach
At the end of the seventh day
The last prayer was made
Your story was beautiful
Turned twine your destiny
It has name on candle cloth
Verse in coming and divine
But a young maiden
She then had a boy
The face of her son
It was quirino again
