| Que saudade do tempo De jogar com alegria Me recordo o respeito, o sorisso no rosto A maior energia Lá na beira do cais Berimbau se ouvia Eu chegava de branco E minha roupa branca voltava limpinha Na beira do cais Na beira do cais Berimbau se ouvia A roda famosa na beira do cais Lá no cais da Bahia Na beira do cais Na beira do cais Berimbau se ouvia O malandro jogava, O sorisso no rosto, a maior alegria Na beira do cais Na beira do cais Berimbau se ouvia A cobra picava, O veneno da cobra não me atingia Na beira do cais Na beira do cais Berimbau se ouvia Eu pulava na roda, Minha proteção era a virgem Maria Na beira do cais Na beira do cais Berimbau se ouvia No jogo de Angola, Eu jogava manhoso e a mandinga saía Na beira do cais Na beira do cais Berimbau se ouvia Eu pedia a São Bento sua proteção E São Bento me ouvia Na beira do cais Na beira do cais Berimbau se ouvia |
I miss the time To play with joy I remember the respect, the smiles on faces The greatest energy There at the edge of the pier The berimbau was heard I'd arrive in white And my white clothes came back clean At the edge of the pier At the edge of the pier The berimbau was heard The famous roda on the edge of the pier There on the pier in Bahia At the edge of the pier At the edge of the pier The berimbau was heard The malandro would play, The smile on his face, the greatest joy At the edge of the pier At the edge of the pier The berimbau was heard The snake would sting, The snake venom wouldn't get to me At the edge of the pier At the edge of the pier The berimbau was heard I would jump into the roda My protection was the Virgin Mary At the edge of the pier At the edge of the pier The berimbau was heard In the Angola game, I'd play tricky and the mandinga would came out At the edge of the pier At the edge of the pier The berimbau was heard I'd asked São Bento for his protection And São Bento would hear me At the edge of the pier At the edge of the pier The berimbau was heard |
