Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest
Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest

Nature, goddess of living
The pure beauty of birth
A flower shining in the sunlight
Fisherman between the sea and the hook

Thoughts as free as the sky
I imagine a paper boat
Going away to never return
Having Iemanjá as a guide

Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest
Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest

How long does it take to learn
That a flower has life when it is born
This flower shining in the sunlight
Fisherman between the sea and the hook

Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest
Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest

To be the captain of this world
To be able to roam without borders
To live a year in seconds
Not to think dreams are foolish

To be enchanted by a book
That talks about vanity
When lying is necessary
To be able to tell the truth

Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest
Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest

Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest
Shimbalaiê, when I see the sun kissing the sea
Shimbalaiê, every time it goes to rest
