Vem dançar na roda
Come dance in the circle
Vem, vem, vem, vem
Come, come, come, come
Ouço as risadas e fico presa a ti
I hear the laughter and I'm stuck to you
Vejo as passadas riscadas no chão
I see the steps marked on the floor
São penas e penas que guardo só para ti
They are sorrows and sorrows that I keep just for you
És a batida do meu coração
You're the beat of my heart
Diz-me o que é que eu faço
Tell me what I do
Sem o teu abraço
Without your embrace
Falta mais uma dança
One more dance is missing
Para nos dar esperança
To give us hope
Vira mázia, volta aqui
Turn, Mázia, come back here
Volta mázia, vira aqui
Come back, Mázia, turn here
Gira mázia, volta p'ra mim
Spin, Mázia, come back to me
Roda mázia, até ao fim
Spin, Mázia, until the end
E aumenta, apavora o que ainda não é velho
And it grows, it frightens what isn't old yet
Já dizia Caetano e eu vejo-me ao espelho
Caetano already said it and I see myself in the mirror
Em menina dizia um dia vai ser assim
As a girl I used to say one day it will be like this
Só mais um sopro, volta p'ra mim
Just one more breath, come back to me
Diz-me o que é que eu faço
Tell me what I do
Sem o teu abraço
Without your embrace
Falta mais uma dança
One more dance is missing
Para nos dar esperança
To give us hope
Vira mázia, volta aqui
Turn, Mázia, come back here
Volta mázia, vira aqui
Come back, Mázia, turn here
Gira mázia, volta p'ra mim
Spin, Mázia, come back to me
Roda mázia, até ao fim
Spin, Mázia, until the end
Entra na roda, mázia
Enter the circle, Mázia
Vem dançar comigo
Come dance with me
Ali onde a avó Guilhermina chamava
There where Grandma Guilhermina used to call
Serra da Leba Serra da Leba
Serra da Leba Serra da Leba
Diz-me o que é que eu faço
Tell me what I do
Sem o teu abraço
Without your embrace
Falta mais uma dança
One more dance is missing
Para nos dar esperança
To give us hope
Vira mázia, volta aqui
Turn, Mázia, come back here
Volta mázia, vira aqui
Come back, Mázia, turn here
Gira mázia, volta p'ra mim
Spin, Mázia, come back to me
Roda mázia, até ao fim
Spin, Mázia, until the end
Vira mázia, volta aqui
Turn, Mázia, come back here
Volta mázia, gira aqui
Come back, Mázia, spin here
Gira mázia, volta p'ra mim
Spin, Mázia, come back to me
Roda mázia, até ao fim
Spin, Mázia, until the end
Ali onde a avó Guilhermina chamava
There where Grandma Guilhermina used to call
Serra da Leba, serra da Leba
Serra da Leba, Serra da Leba
Serra da Leba, serra da Leba
Serra da Leba, Serra da Leba
Serra da Leba, serra da Leba
Serra da Leba, Serra da Leba
Aqui 'tá a contar? 44, 45
Is it counting here? 44, 45

Did you like this lyrics translation?
mázia — whim / caprice / longing
Mázia is a fascinating and somewhat rare word in Portuguese, often carrying a sense of whim, caprice, or a deep, almost melancholic longing.
In Ana Moura's song, it's personified and called upon, as if it's a spirit or a feeling that the singer wants to return or stay. Phrases like "Vira mázia, volta aqui" (Turn mázia, come back here) suggest a playful yet earnest plea to this elusive emotion or state of being, making it very intriguing.
