Timoneiro [English translation]

It isn't me who navigates me

Who navigates me is the sea

It isn't me who navigates me

Who navigates me is the sea

He is the one that carries me

Like how he couldn't even take me

He is the one that carries me

Like how he couldn't even take me

And the more that I row the more I pray

So that this voyage

Will never end that makes

The sea around the sea.

My old man one day said

With his way of giving advice:

- Look, the sea doesn't have hairs

That people can grab onto

It isn't me who navigates me

Who navigates me is the sea

It isn't me who navigates me

Who navigates me is the sea

He is the one that carries me

Like how he couldn't even take me

He is the one that carries me

Like how he couldn't even take me

I was never a steersman

Because I'm not one for sailing

The steering wheel of my life

God is who governs

And when someone asks me

How do you swim

I explain that I don't navigate

Who navigates me is the sea

It isn't me who navigates me

Who navigates me is the sea

It isn't me who navigates me

Who navigates me is the sea

He is the one that carries me

Like how he couldn't even take me

He is the one that carries me

Like how he couldn't even take me

The net of my destiny

Seems like that of fisherman

When it returns empty

It comes full of suffering

I live in a whirlpool

God knows well what he does

The wave that carries me

Is the same that brings me
