According to Ermelinda Paz , Marujo do Rosario (literally translated from the Portuguese as Sailor of the Rosary) comes from the hydrographic region of the Sao Francisco River, a basin that includes the states of Minas Gerais, Bahia, Pernambuco, Sergipe, and Alagoas. This song most likely belongs to a style of dramatic dance called cheganca-de-marujo (arrival of sailor). In this tragicomic street drama, the community of actors enact a story in which they demonstrate their experiences as if they were in a vessel lost at sea. In this dance, several characters dressed as sailors and carrying small sail boats on their shoulders, parade through the streets singing and dancing to a march. When they arrive at a determined house, they place their little sail boats on the floor and start the dramatic play. This song seems to be performed when the sailors arrive at the chosen location. The Portuguese lyrics E com licenca e, olele, e com licenca do dono da casa, o e com licenca e means please excuse me, I have permission from the houses owner to come in. This arrangement is scored for three-part mixed with optional baritone, piano, and pandeiro. The pandeiro is a Brazilian frame drum with jingles played with the hands, similar to the orchestral tambourine. It is used in various music styles but particularly in samba and bossa nova. In fact, feel free to substitute the pandeiro with the orchestral tambourine. The text is very short and simple. To make your singers Portuguese pronunciation more accurate, do not close final m or n. Just nasalize them.
