De manhã, que medo, que me achasses feia!
In the morning, what a fear, that you would find me ugly!
Acordei, tremendo, deitada n'areia
I woke up, shivering, lying in the sand
Mas logo os teus olhos disseram que não
But then your eyes said no
E o sol penetrou no meu coração
And the sun penetrated my heart
Mas logo os teus olhos disseram que não
But then your eyes said no
E o sol penetrou no meu coração
And the sun penetrated my heart
Vi depois, numa rocha, uma cruz
Then I saw, on a rock, a cross
E o teu barco negro dançava na luz
And your black boat danced in the light
Vi teu braço acenando, entre as velas já soltas
I saw your arm waving, among the already loose sails
Dizem as velhas da praia, que não voltas
The old women on the beach say that you won't come back
São louca
are crazy
São loucas
They're crazy
Eu sei, meu amor
I know my love
Que nem chegaste a partir
that you didn't even leave
Pois tudo, em meu redor
Well, everything around me
Me diz qu'estás sempre comigo
Tell me you're always with me
Eu sei, meu amor
I know my love
Que nem chegaste a partir
that you didn't even leave
Pois tudo, em meu redor
Well, everything around me
Me diz qu'estás sempre comigo
Tell me you're always with me
No vento que lança areia nos vidros
In the wind that throws sand on the glass
Na água que canta, no fogo mortiço
In the water that sings, in the dying fire
No calor do leito, nos bancos vazios
In the warmth of the bed, on empty benches
Dentro do meu peito, estás sempre comigo
Inside my chest, you are always with me
No calor do leito, nos bancos vazios
In the warmth of the bed, on empty benches
Dentro do meu peito, estás sempre comigo
Inside my chest, you are always with me
Ah ah ah
ah ah ah
Eu sei, meu amor
I know my love
Que nem chegaste a partir
that you didn't even leave
Pois tudo, em meu redor
Well, everything around me
Me diz qu'estás sempre comigo
Tell me you're always with me
Eu sei, meu amor
I know my love
Que nem chegaste a partir
that you didn't even leave
Pois tudo, em meu redor
Well, everything around me
Me diz qu'estás sempre
tell me you are always
Comigo
With me
