'Punga' would be 'pungar' if it was 'pungá'.
It is a kind of dance that exists in Northern Brazil and Africa.

>it is a kind of dance

What is "it"? "pungar"? "pungá"?

One problem here is I don't know if the source text was written by someone who speaks the language/dialect or is a transcription of something heard.

It would be very weird a "sea of lungs", don't you think pirulito?
'It's the sea of punga,
it's the green sea of sailing'

It's a lyric I gess because of rhimes in caboverdian.I think that's the thing.One girl to know it is Tanita27.
Hope the right answer comes.

Pedi para Tanita27 olhar. Eu imagino ser caboverdiano.
Na última dúvida sobre dialecto ela resolveu.

Ola!Por acaso, nunca tinha ouvido a palavra "punga", mas segunda a minha pesquisa, encontrei que era uma danca tipica do brasil, como disse caspertavernello...Apenas isso...Lamento nao poder ajudar, mas se entretanto descobrir mais alguma coisa, eu digo...

Other thing I thought is: this could be just a transliteration of the spoken language (such as a joking song, very normal in Brasil, for this special dance [wich i've never heard before])

How's it gonna be now?

I found no other explanation.
I think it shall be rejected.

I really have no idea what's the meaning of the text...I even searched on the dictionary, and there's no "punga" or something similar...I agree with caspertavernello, it should be rejected

It seems to be impossible if u don't know the source language.
I'll keep my latest idea.

"Mar de punga..." of that dance.

I should know someone from northern Brazil, damn.
