Riacho Do Navio / Forró No Escuro Lyrics in English Fagner
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Riacho Do Navio / Forró No Escuro by Fagner from Portuguese to English.
Riacho do Navio corre pro Pajeú
Ship's Stream flows to the Pajeú
O Rio Pajeú vai despejar no São Francisco
The Pajeú River will empty into the São Francisco
O Rio São Francisco vai bater no mei do mar
The São Francisco River will reach the middle of the sea
O Rio São Francisco vai bater no mei do mar
The São Francisco River will reach the middle of the sea
Riacho do Navio corre pro Pajeú
Ship's Stream flows to the Pajeú
O Rio Pajeú vai despejar no São Francisco
The Pajeú River will empty into the São Francisco
O Rio São Francisco vai bater no mei do mar
The São Francisco River will reach the middle of the sea
O Rio São Francisco vai bater no mei do mar
The São Francisco River will reach the middle of the sea
Se eu fosse um peixe, ao contrário do rio
If I were a fish, unlike the river
Subia contra as águas e nesse desafio
I'd swim upstream and in this challenge
Saí lá do mar pro Riacho do Navio
I'd come from the sea to Ship's Stream
Eu ía diretinho pro Riacho do Navio
I'd go straight to Ship's Stream
Fazer o meu rachinho, fazer minha caçada
To do my little chase, to do my hunt
Ver a pega de boi, andar na vaquejada
To see the bull catching, to ride in the vaquejada
Dormir ao sol do chocalho e acordar com a passarada
To sleep in the sun of the cowbell and wake up with the birdsong
Sem rádio e sem notícia da terra civilzada
Without radio and without news from the civilized world
Sem rádio e sem notícia da terra civilzada
Without radio and without news from the civilized world
Meu amor num vá s'embora (num vá s'embora)
My love, don't go away (don't go away)
Fique mais um bocadinho (um bocadinho)
Stay a little longer (a little longer)
Se você for, seu nego chora (seu nego chora)
If you go, your darling cries (your darling cries)
Vamos dançar só um tiquinho
Let's dance just a little bit
Quando eu entro numa farra
When I get into a party
Não quero sair mais, não
I don't want to leave anymore, no
Vou até o quebrar da barra
I'll go until dawn breaks
E pegar o sol c'a mão (o sol c'a mão)
And catch the sun with my hand (the sun with my hand)
Quando eu entro numa farra
When I get into a party
Não quero sair mais, não
I don't want to leave anymore, no
Vou até o quebrar da barra
I'll go until dawn breaks
E pegar o sol c'a mão (o sol c'a mão)
And catch the sun with my hand (the sun with my hand)
