Lyrics / Letra

Sereia da Maré por Joanah Flor

Ela é sereia ela nada
Ela é toda ela
Ela é tudo
O que ela canta
No seu canto chega
O que ela canta
No seu canto chega
Ela é sereia ela nada
Ela é toda ela
Ela é tudo
O que ela canta
No seu canto chega
O que ela canta
No seu canto chega
Ela pinta seu corpo de lama
Quando pesca no manguezal
marisco, siri, aratu
Para os meninos criar
Ô ô ô ô ô
A sereia cantou
Na beira do rio
Ô ô ô ô ô
Penteando os cabelos
Pra esquecer o Labor
Ô ô ô ô ô
A sereia cantou
Na beira do rio
Ô ô ô ô ô
Penteando os cabelos
Pra esquecer o Labor
Ela é sereia ela nada
Ela é toda ela
Ela é tudo
O que ela canta
No seu canto chega
O que ela canta
No seu canto chega
Ela é sereia ela nada
Ela é toda ela
Ela é tudo
O que ela canta
No seu canto chega
O que ela canta
No seu canto chega
Mas a sereia também quer ter asas
E com as garças voar
Se libertar da rede da dor
Que tanto lhe aprisionou
Se libertar da rede da dor
Que tantas sereias matou
Ô ô ô ô ô
A sereia cantou
Na beira do rio
Ô ô ô ô ô
Penteando os cabelos
Pra esquecer o Labor
Ô ô ô ô ô
A sereia cantou
Na beira do rio
Ô ô ô ô ô
Penteando os cabelos
Pra esquecer o Labor

Tide Mermaid by Joanah Flor

She is a mermaid she swims
She is all of her
She’s everything
What does she sing
In her corner arrives
What does she sing
In your corner arrives
She is a mermaid she swims
She is all of her
She’s everything
What does she sing
In your corner arrives
What does she sing
In your corner arrives
She paints her body with mud
When fishing in the mangroves
seafood, crab, aratu
For boys to create
Oh oh oh oh
The mermaid sang
At the riverside
Oh oh oh oh
Combing your hair
To forget Labor
Oh oh oh oh
The mermaid sang
At the riverside
Oh oh oh oh
Combing your hair
To forget Labor
She is a mermaid she swims
She is all of her
She’s everything
What does she sing
In your corner arrives
What does she sing
In your corner arrives
She is a mermaid she swims
She is all of her
She’s everything
What does she sing
In your corner arrives
What does she sing
In your corner arrives
But the mermaid also wants to have wings
And with the herons fly
Free yourself from the net of pain
That imprisoned you so much
Free yourself from the net of pain
That killed so many mermaids
Oh oh oh oh
The mermaid sang
At the riverside
Oh oh oh oh
Combing your hair
To forget Labor
Oh oh oh oh
The mermaid sang
At the riverside
Oh oh oh oh
Combing your hair
To forget Labor

The New Single by Joanah Flor

Sereia Da Maré / Tide Mermaid

At Tropical Diaspora® Records we are committed to create a narrative, musical and otherwise, about the people that crossed the Atlantic from Africa to the “Americas” and gave rise to different cultural expressions that reflect both the horror and hope of that experience.

In creating such a narrative we are however aware that the tools we use to communicate our idea and mission are shaped by the historical narrative of the imperialist powers; the hegemonic role that, for example, language play: French, English and Portuguese in Africa; Spanish, Portuguese and English in the “Americas“.

We are even to blame for using English as lingua franca for our purposes. But, is it silence a better option? We won’t be silent. We want to speak; we believe that we have the right to speak and will use whatever means we have at our disposal in order to open up a communicative interface that is respectful of the history and legacy of the communities whose experiences, struggles
