Thread Name: Lyr Req: Curima (The Limeliters)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Curima (The Limeliters)
Q, when I do a google search for
lyrics: "Curimao"+Limeliters
I STILL get directed to all sorts of links having to do with "Currimao"

The Limeliters' song -- which is spelled "Curimao" or "Currimao" on the album -- is a fisherman's song praying to the sea and the wind to help "bring me good fortune, Curimao" -- i.e., the fish they use as a main food source.

It's something like
"Wind come and fill me sails,
Boat, guide me through the water,
.Water bring me good fortune,
Curimao."

(Not exact lyrics but pretty close. Of course, half the song is sung in Portugese too.)
