about

Second single in Open Arms Project: a monthly series of collaborations recorded & filmed around the world as I toured. I recorded this song in Rio de Janeiro right after Carnival with vocalist Danilo Caymmi & Guitarist Davi Mello, paying tribute to its composer, Danilo's father, the legendary songwriter from Bahia Dorival Caymmi who inspired Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and so many others!

The song speaks of a sailor who dies at sea in the lap of Iemanja (the Orisha of the sea) with his lover on shore unable to say goodbye.

Follow for more singles! Next month... Zimbabwe!

lyrics

É doce morrer no mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar
É doce morrer no mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar
Saveiro partiu de noite foi
Madrugada não voltou
O marinheiro bonito
Sereia do mar levou

É doce morrer no mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar
É doce morrer no mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar
A noite que ele não veio foi
Foi de tristeza prá mim
Saveiro voltou sozinho
Triste noite foi prá mim

É doce morrer no mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar
É doce morrer no mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar meu bem
Ele se foi afogar
Fez sua cama de noivo
No colo de Iemanjá

É doce morrer no mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar
É doce morrer no mar
Nas ondas verdes do mar
