Tava na beira da praia vendo que maré fazia
(c) Tava na beira da praia vendo que maré fazia
Tava na beira da praia vendo que maré fazia
(c) Tava na beira da praia vendo que maré fazia
Quando eu ia ela voltava
(c) Quando eu volto ela ia
Quando eu ia ela voltava
(c) Quando eu volto ela ia
I was on the edge of the beach, seeing what the tide would do
I was on the edge of the beach, seeing what the tide would do
I was on the edge of the beach, seeing what the tide would do
I was on the edge of the beach, seeing what the tide would do
When I went, she returned
When I returned, she went
When I went, she returned
When I returned, she went
Meaning and Interpretation:
This is a rather simple, but beautiful song that can be interpreted in many ways. It can be used to describe the interactions between capoeiristas in the way that the joga between them flows back and forth. It could also be used to describe the way the music flows back and forth between the orchestra and the people in the roda.
