[Intro]
(Salve, salve, Iemanjá, salve, Janaína
E tudo o que se fez na água
Jogam flores para o mar, Deus salve a Rainha
E o meu passo nessa esfera
Salve, salve, Iemanjá, salve, Janaína
E tudo o que se fez na água
Jogam flores para o mar, Deus salve a Rainha
E o meu passo nessa esfera
Um caboclo de orixás, logo deixa a Terra
Vai de encontro à sua sina
Onde o céu encontra o mar, achará seu porto
E é assim que isso termina
E é assim que isso termina)

All I see floats with the wind
All the miracles of the water are the miracles never seen
Somehow my life now begins
This music that's been played through time, now starts to reach my feet
Feels like the flood of my needs
From the harmony of forever, sound the melodies of the sea
And you will know on the way
I'm coming back to my enemies, I'm turning around I'll be
Just coming back to my last days, I'm coming back to the sea

[Bridge]
So why won't you come with me, my friend?
Thrills like we had before, yeah
Hope never showing up the same
For a lonely man
[Refrain]
Salve, salve, Iemanjá, salve, Janaína
E tudo o que se fez na água
Jogam flores para o mar, Deus salve a Rainha
E o meu passo nessa esfera

[Verse 1]
Since the day we left the land
We've been anxious on approach
Captain kept showing his plans:
"Under sail we go!"
Deep the ocean's blue I stare
The reflections of my soul
We have with us a special guest
And for him, we made a toast

[Chorus]
Carolina IV took a river to the sky
Seven men on board taking part
To take their hearts around
All around, around the world, yeah!

[Verse 2]
All I can recall that day
On that very day for sure
All hands up against the haze
As we attempted the return
[Chorus]
Carolina IV took a river to the sky
One man less on board - human dreams
Have sometimes cost their lives
All their lives dreaming

[Post-Chorus]
I've been such a fool (I've been such a fool), I've been so afraid (I've been so afraid)
From my heart to you I say: I'll be here to stay

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Nothing much left from the boat
Many years have been and gone
Still, I can't forget the past
And the ones I left at home

[Chorus]
Carolina IV took a river to the sky
Windy whistling nights
Made me sail right into the wind's eye
Now I'll die singing:

[Post-Chorus]
I've been such a fool (I've been such a fool), I've been so afraid (I've been so afraid)
From my heart to you I say: I'll be here to stay
I've been such a fool (I've been such a fool), I've been so afraid (I've been so afraid)
From my heart to you I say: I'll be here to stay

All I see floats with the wind
Somehow my life now begins
Feels like the flood of my needs
All I see floats in the, floats with the wind
