Hey, girl, grab hold of my arm
My dance, my steps
It's all that I can give you
Hey, girl, take my kiss
My caresses and my desire
My love and my rumba shakers
If I could, I'd give you all the wealth
The luxury, glory and beauty, and a cure for what ails you
Oh, I'd give you the lions that guard my palace
All the easy rhymes and my garden full of flowers
I'd give you my tongue and my heart
If I were the owner of the sea
If I were the owner of Maranhão1
I'd give you my tongue and my heart
If I were the owner of the sea
If I were the owner of Maranhão1
Hey, girl, take this poem
My chants that resemble those of a seriema2
My buriti3-fruit sweet
Girl, my life belongs to you
I promise I'll give you the Moon
If you ask me it
If I could, I'd give you my accent
My Rolls-Royce, my Cadilac, my cameo4 and my bibelot
Oh, if I could, I'd give you my creative plumes
The breeze from the tide
Fresh water, a warm place5 and heat
I'd give you my tongue and my heart
If I were the owner of the sea
If I were the owner of Maranhão1
I'd give you my tongue and my heart
If I were the owner of the sea
If I were the owner of Maranhão1
I'd give you my tongue and my heart
If I were the owner of the sea
If I were the owner of Maranhão1
I'd give you my tongue and my heart
If I were the owner of the sea
If I were the owner of Maranhão1
I'd give you my tongue and my heart
If I were the owner of the sea
If I were the owner of Maranhão1
