Fresh off the boat X4
I rock these bare feet like no one else can
My hands are dirty I like 'em that way
Shows Who I am
I'm fresh off the boat
Fresh off the boat
Fresh off the boat
Fresh off the boat
The wine tastes good on my sweet lips like sunshine
The plastic on the furniture suits me just fine
I'm fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat, fresh off the boat
Querida menina a beira do mar
Querida menina a beira do mar
Apanha um barco branco e vai vai vai
Apanha um barco branco e sai sai sai
Aquela menina a beira do mar
Aquela menina a beira do mar
Aquela menina a beira do mar
Querida menina e vai vai vai

I can't believe no one has commented on this. Its my favorite of hers. Its about being proud of who you are and being in touch with where you came from.
The verses in Portuguese are her take on a traditional lullaby. My aunts used to sing it to me when I was a baby. Heehee.
Wanted girl the side of the Dear sea girl the side of the sea Apanha a white boat and goes goes goes Apanha a white boat and leaves leaves leaves That girl the side the sea That girl the side the sea That girl the side the Dear sea girl and goes goes goes Dear girl the side of the Dear sea girl the side of the Dear sea girl the side of the Dear sea girl the side of the sea That one girl the side of the Dear sea girl the side of the Dear sea girl the side of the sea Side of the sea sea yeah!
this is what the portuguese means

"Dear Girl on the edge of the sea Picks up a white boat And goes, goes, goes, Picks up a white boat And leaves, leaves, leaves"
Omitting the repetitious lines. Lyrics are pretty straightforward, and I thought the refrain "fresh off the boat" was pretty funny. Nelly is proud of her Portugeuse heritage.
The term "fresh off the boat" refers to an immigrant who has landed to a new country and has to get acquainted with the new customs and way of life of her new country of residence, but still wants to show how proud he/she is of being of a different culture.
