A canoa virou, marinheiro
No fundo do mar tem dinheiro
A canoa virou, marinheiro
No fundo do mar tem segrêdo
A canoa virou, marinheiro
No fundo do mar tem malícia
A canoa virou, marinheiro
No fundo do mar tem capoeira
A canoa virou, marinheiro
Mas se virou, deixa virar
A canoa virou, marinheiro
Oi está lá, no fundo do mar
A canoa virou, marinheiro
The canoe capsized, sailor
In deep sea there is money
The canoe capsized, sailor
In deep sea there are secrets
The canoe capsized, sailor
In deep sea there is trickery
The canoe capsized, sailor
In deep sea there is capoeira
The canoe capsized, sailor
But if it capsized, leave it
The canoe capsized, sailor
There it is, in the deep sea
The canoe capsized, sailor
The song refers to a canoe that has been capsized, but how in misfortune there is sometimes luck.'A Canoa Virou, Marinheiro' expresses that in every disaster there is the opportunity to look on the bottom of the sea for sunken treasure.
