Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Barca by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
A barca da transa chegou
The sex boat has arrived
A barca pintou e bordou
The boat painted and embroidered
A barca transou, nem parou
The boat moved, it didn't even stop
Já vai partir
You're going to leave
A barca da transa chegou
The sex boat has arrived
A barca pintou e bordou
The boat painted and embroidered
A barca transou, nem parou
The boat moved, it didn't even stop
Já vai partir
You're going to leave
Por outros mares de loucura, vai
Through other seas of madness, go
Ela fatura e sai
She invoices and leaves
E nunca vai chegar
And she will never arrive
Sem praia segura no mar dessa multidão
No safe beach in the sea of this crowd
A barca procura em vão
The boat searches in vain
A barca não pode parar
The boat can't stop
A barca da transa chegou
The sex boat has arrived
A barca pintou e bordou
The boat painted and embroidered
A barca transou, nem parou
The boat moved, it didn't even stop
Já vai partir
You're going to leave
A barca da transa chegou
The sex boat has arrived
A barca pintou e bordou
The boat painted and embroidered
A barca transou, nem parou
The boat moved, it didn't even stop
Já vai partir
You're going to leave
Por outros mares de loucura, vai
Through other seas of madness, go
Ela fatura e sai
She invoices and leaves
E nunca vai chegar
And she will never arrive
Sem praia segura no mar dessa multidão
No safe beach in the sea of this crowd
A barca procura em vão
The boat searches in vain
A barca não pode parar
The boat can't stop
A barca da transa chegou
The sex boat has arrived
A barca pintou e bordou
The boat painted and embroidered
A barca transou, nem parou
The boat moved, it didn't even stop
Já vai partir
You're going to leave
A barca da transa chegou
The sex boat has arrived
A barca pintou e bordou
The boat painted and embroidered
A barca transou, nem parou
The boat moved, it didn't even stop
Já vai partir
You're going to leave
Por outros mares de loucura, vai
Through other seas of madness, go
Ela fatura e sai
She invoices and leaves
E nunca vai chegar
And she will never arrive
Sem praia segura no mar dessa multidão
No safe beach in the sea of this crowd
A barca procura em vão
The boat searches in vain
A barca não pode parar
The boat can't stop
A barca da transa chegou
The sex boat has arrived
A barca pintou e bordou
The boat painted and embroidered
A barca transou, nem parou
The boat moved, it didn't even stop
Já vai partir
You're going to leave
A barca da transa chegou
The sex boat has arrived
A barca pintou e bordou
The boat painted and embroidered
A barca transou, nem parou
The boat moved, it didn't even stop
Já vai partir
You're going to leave
