Marinheiro - Professor Be

[Coro] E Marinheiro, E Marinheiro
que leva o navio negreiro, que leva o navio negreiro

E marinheiro, Nao me leva pra senzala
Eu nao quero essa vida, vida triste amargurada

E marinheiro, estou no porao de um navio
Toda noite rezo e peco, pra que nao morra de frio

E marinheiro, com o balance das ondas
Esta noite rezo e peco, pra que nao morra de frio

E marinheiro, e companheiro
Vai levando o navio negreiro, vai levando o navio negreiro

E marinhro, eu nao quero me afogar
Devagar com o navio, ele pode afundar

This song talks about slavery, and the ship (navio negreiro) that the slaves were carried away from Africa.

And, is like someone in the song is asking for the sailor to go slow with the ship, because they might sink.

A great way to practice, is trying to translate this song on your own, and also listen to the video, It will help a lot!!


I hope you enjoy it and if you have any question, please comment bellow!!
