Menina bonita, pra onde é "qu'ocê" vai
Vou procurar o meu lindo amor
No fundo do mar
Vou procurar o meu lindo amor
No fundo do mar
Nhem, nhem, nhem
Nhem, nhem, nhem
É onda que vem
Nhem, nhem, nhem
Tristeza que vai
Nhem, nhem, nhem
Tristeza que vem
Foi e nunca mais voltou
Nunca mais! Nunca mais
Triste, triste me deixou
Nhem, nhem, nhem
É onda que vai
Nhem, nhem, nhem
É a vida que vem
Nhem, nhem, nhem
É a vida que vai
Nhem, nhem, nhem
Não volta ninguém
Menina bonita, não vá para o mar
Menina bonita, não vá para o mar
Vou me casar com o meu lindo amor
No fundo do mar
Vou me casar com o meu lindo amor
No fundo do mar
Nhem, nhem, nhem
É onda que vai
Nhem, nhem, nhem
É onda que vem
Nhem, nhem, nhem
É a vida que vai
Nhem, nhem, nhem
Não volta ninguém
Menina bonita que foi para o mar
Menina bonita que foi para o mar
Dorme, meu bem
Que você também é Iemanjá
Dorme, meu bem
Que você também é Iemanjá
The song "Bocochê" by Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell tells a story of a beautiful girl who goes searching for her true love in the depths of the ocean. She is determined to find her love and will stop at nothing until she does. The lyrics suggest that the waves of the ocean may bring sadness and longing, but ultimately, life moves forward and cannot be changed. The girl's lover had gone into the ocean and never returned, leaving her heartbroken. The lyrics convey both the beauty and the danger of the ocean, urging the girl not to go there. However, despite the warnings, the girl persists in her search and ultimately finds her love, even if it means remaining in the ocean forever.
The song is rich in symbolism and meaning, reflecting the Brazilian culture's reverence for the sea and its many mysteries. The notion of beauty becomes associated with the idea of searching for love, and the ocean itself becomes a metaphor for life, with its tides and currents representing the ebb and flow of human experiences. The song's message is one of hope and perseverance, even in the face of loss and sadness.

With the amount of tools and time, you could also interlock the four walls on each corner.

The guy building a freaking house with a yard and all, alone in the woods, and the people criticizing his choice of shoes or telling him what he did wrong while sitting on the couch with a blanket and snacks 😅
You did a great job sir! I thought this was brilliant! Please make more 😊

That's how he gets engagement. If he did everything correct, there would be much less comments..

He's killed hundreds of trees to build 30 shelters he doesn't need. Why would you love his content?

@Always Hangry Girl because we aren’t always perfect and conscious and I didn’t think of that. Thank you for alerting me, I was just thinking of how people always have to be criticizing dumb things like he’s shoes.. your critic makes more sense 😉

Blessed to have such straight logs everywhere. I can make anything out of them but they are hard to find where I am.
