Boi do Dono [English translation]

Hey, girl, grab hold of my arm

My dance, my steps

It's all that I can give you

Hey, girl, take my kiss

My caresses and my desire

My love and my rumba shakers

If I could, I'd give you all the wealth

The luxury, glory and beauty, and a cure for what ails you

Oh, I'd give you the lions that guard my palace

All the easy rhymes and my garden full of flowers

I'd give you my tongue and my heart

If I were the owner of the sea

If I were the owner of Maranhão1

I'd give you my tongue and my heart

If I were the owner of the sea

If I were the owner of Maranhão1

Hey, girl, take this poem

My chants that resemble those of a seriema2

My buriti3-fruit sweet

Girl, my life belongs to you

I promise I'll give you the Moon

If you ask me it

If I could, I'd give you my accent

My Rolls-Royce, my Cadilac, my cameo4 and my bibelot

Oh, if I could, I'd give you my creative plumes

The breeze from the tide

Fresh water, a warm place5 and heat

I'd give you my tongue and my heart

If I were the owner of the sea

If I were the owner of Maranhão1

I'd give you my tongue and my heart

If I were the owner of the sea

If I were the owner of Maranhão1

I'd give you my tongue and my heart

If I were the owner of the sea

If I were the owner of Maranhão1

I'd give you my tongue and my heart

If I were the owner of the sea

If I were the owner of Maranhão1

I'd give you my tongue and my heart

If I were the owner of the sea

If I were the owner of Maranhão1
