Adeus Povo Bom Adeus
Song Lyrics
Adeus povo bom adeus
Adeus eu ja vou me embora
Pelas ondas do mar eu vim
Pelas ondas do mar
Eu vou me embora
Adeus povo bom adeus
Adeus eu ja vou me embora
Pelas ondas do mar eu vim
Pelas ondas do mar
Eu vou me embora
English Translation
Goodbye good people goodbye
Goodbye I'm leaving already
By the waves of the sea I came
By the waves of the sea
I'm leaving
Goodbye good people goodbye
Goodbye I'm leaving already
By the waves of the sea I came
By the waves of the sea
I'm leaving
History and sentiment behind song
The tempo and energy of the music and singing builds throughout the roda, culminating in a farewell song such as this one. Usually it is sung to the berimbau playing a very fast rhythm, and the games are played fast and short.
