Água do rio que corre pro mar

Chama meu mano pra nos vadiar

Água do rio que corre pro mar

Água do rio que corre pro mar

Água do rio que corre pro mar

O iaia gavião perdeu à perna

Água do rio que corre pro mar

O iaia no passado e agora vem

Água do rio que corre pro mar

Eu também perdeu meu tempo

Água do rio que corre pro mar

O iaia aprendeu que não me quer

Água do rio que corre pro mar

Water from the river that runs to the sea

Call my friend to play with me

Water from the river that runs to the sea

Water from the river that runs to the sea

Water from the river that runs to the sea

Oh iaia the hawk lost its leg

Water from the river that runs to the sea

Oh iaia in the past and now it comes

Water from the river that runs to the sea

I lost my time, too

Water from the river that runs to the sea

Oh iaia I learned that it does not want me

Water from the river that runs to the sea

*The phrase “a água do rio corre para o mar” means that the course of life is, like the flow of the river, aiming towards its ultimate destiny, its own calling. The course of life follows the course of nature.
