MARÉ ENCHEU

Maré encheu, maré encheu

Maré encheu espuma branca aqui chegou

Chegou, chegou e vai chegar

Espuma branca lava as areias do mar

Maré encheu, maré vazou

Levando as mágoas que Oxum aqui deixou

Deixou, deixou e vai deixar

Espuma branca leva pro fundo do mar

Nas areias eu caminho de mansinho

Sentindo a brisa que vem lá do alto mar

Saudei, saudei e vou saudar

Aqui na praia, saúdo a Rainha do Mar

The tide rose, the tide rose

The tide rose, white foam arrived here

It arrived, arrived and will arrive

White foam washes the sands of the sea

The tide rose, the tide ebbed

Carrying away the sorrows that Oxum left here

It left, left and will leave

White foam carries to the depths of the sea

On the sands I walk softly

Feeling the breeze that comes from the high sea

I greeted, greeted and will greet

Here on the beach, I greet the Queen of the Sea
