Canoas Do Tejo Lyrics in English Carlos Do Carmo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canoas Do Tejo by Carlos Do Carmo from Portuguese to English.
Canoa de vela erguida
Sailboat with raised sail
Que vens do Cais da Ribeira
That comes from the Ribeira Pier
Gaivota, que andas perdida
Seagull, who wanders lost
Sem encontrar companheira
Without finding a companion
O vento sopra nas fragas
The wind blows on the cliffs
O Sol parece um morango
The sun looks like a strawberry
E o Tejo baila com as vagas
And the Tagus dances with the waves
A ensaiar um fandango
Rehearsing a fandango
Canoa
Sailboat
Conheces bem
You know well
Quando há norte pela proa
When there's a north wind ahead
Quantas docas tem Lisboa
How many docks Lisbon has
E as muralhas que ela tem
And the walls it has
Canoa
Sailboat
Por onde vais?
Where are you going?
Se algum barco te abalroa
If some boat collides with you
Nunca mais voltas ao cais
You'll never return to the pier
Nunca, nunca, nunca mais
Never, never, never again
Canoa de vela panda
Sailboat with a slack sail
Que vens da boca da barra
That comes from the mouth of the bar
E trazes na aragem branda
And brings in the gentle breeze
Gemidos de uma guitarra
Moans of a guitar
Teu arrais prendeu a vela
Your helmsman tied the sail
E se adormeceu, deixa-lo
And fell asleep, leave him
Agora muita cautela
Now very cautious
Não vá o mar acordá-lo
Lest the sea wakes him up
Canoa
Sailboat
Conheces bem
You know well
Quando há norte pela proa
When there's a north wind ahead
Quantas docas tem Lisboa
How many docks Lisbon has
E as muralhas que ela tem
And the walls it has
Canoa
Sailboat
Por onde vais?
Where are you going?
Se algum barco te abalroa
If some boat collides with you
Nunca mais voltas ao cais
You'll never return to the pier
Nunca, nunca, nunca mais
Never, never, never again
Canoa
Sailboat
Por onde vais?
Where are you going?
Se algum barco te abalroa
If some boat collides with you
Nunca mais voltas ao cais
You'll never return to the pier
Nunca, nunca, nunca mais
Never, never, never again
