The navy hit

Composed by Bi Ribeiro and Joao Barone, originally in Portuguese


Adapted and translated by M. R. Pinheiro

(Chorus:)
I have slipped into the ship, hey
I was tricked, tricked, badly (all the way) tricked into it
I have slipped into the ship, hey
The mistake is what wasn't really fake (2 x)
(End of chorus)

I go 'yeah', connected to the crew


Went to know the entire watercraft:
The deck, the stern
The bow and the wheel

All so beautiful
To get me around
It was then I noticed
The mop with water in and out
Are you seeing this dirt right under your feet?
So, stop being slack
And go brushing over it

(Chorus)

When I realized
I was already in high tide
Without minimum chance
Of canceling my ride

(Chorus 4)
I go freebie,
But the mistake was massive:
Get to know the entire World
Without spending a nickel in such!
(End of chorus 4)

(Chorus 2)
Baltimore, Liverpool
Wilhemshafen, Rold
And me here peeling
Potatoes by the hold
(End of chorus 2)

(Chorus)
(Chorus 2, 2 x)
(Chorus 4, 2 x)

(Chorus 3)
Hey sailor, sailor
(Lonely sailor!)
Who is it that has taught you how to swim:
Was it the fall from the ship or the shaking of the engine?
(End of chorus 3, repeat once only)
Are you seeing this dirt right under your feet?
So, stop being slack
And go brushing over it

(Chorus 4)

(Chorus, 3 x)
