CURIMÃ
("O Vento," by Dorival Caymmi
Arrangement and recording by The Limeliters)

Vamos chamar o vento (Whistling, make the wind blow),
Vamos chamar o vento (Whistling, make the wind blow).
[Whistling solo]

Vento que dá na vela,
Vela que leva o barco,
Barco que leva a gente,
Gente que leva o peixe,
Y peixe que dá dinheiro, Curimã.

Y Curimã oe*, Curimã lambaio, e** Curimã oe, Curimã lambaio, e curimã!
Curimã oe, Curimã lambaio, e Curimã oe, Curimã lambaio, curimã.

Vamos chamar o vento (Whistling, make the wind blow),
Vamos chamar o vento (Whistling, make the wind blow).
[Whistling riff]

Wind, come and fill my mainsail,
Mainsail, make my boat go,
Boat, go and carry my brother,
Brother, fish the waters,
Waters bring me good fortune, Curimà.

Curimã oe, Curimã lambaio,
Curimã oe, Curimã lambaio, (E, Curimã!)
Curimã oe, Curimã lambaio,
Curimã oe, Curimã lambaio, Curimã

Vamos chamar o vento, (Whistling, make the wind blow),
Vamos chamar o vento, (Whistling, make the wind blow),
[Whistling solo]



* I don't know Portugese spelling, but when I used the "ê" and had Google Translate pronunce it, they pronounced it "eh circumflex." When I used "oe," GT pronouned it "weh," which is what the Limeliters sing.
** I can't tell whether the Limeliters are singing "e," "é" (is) or "y" (and), but it sounds it sounds like "eh."


If the letter after "curim" looks like gobbledygook, it's supposed to be an "a" with a tilde above it.
