Canção do mar [English translation]

I went to dance on my barge

out there in the merciless sea

and the roaring waves

said that I went to steal

the unmatched glitter

of your so lovely glance.

Come and see whether they are right.

Come here and see my heart dancing.

If I dance on my barge

I won’t sail to the merciless sea

nor will I tell it where I went to sing,

to smile, to dance,

to live, to dream…

about you!
