Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Madalena Foi Pro Mar by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Madalena foi pro mar e eu fiquei a ver navios
Madalena went to sea and I watched ships
Quem com ela se encontrar
Whoever meets her
Diga lá no alto-mar que é preciso voltar já
Say there on the high seas that you have to go back now
Pra cuidar dos nossos filhos
To take care of our children
Pra zombar dos olhos meus
To mock my eyes
No alto-mar, a vela acena
On the high seas, the sail waves
Tanto jeito tem de adeus, tanto adeus de Madalena
There are so many ways to say goodbye, so many goodbyes from Madalena
E eu fiquei a ver navios
And I watched ships
E eu fiquei a ver navios
And I watched ships
Quem com ela se encontrar
Whoever meets her
Diga lá no alto-mar
Say there on the high seas
É preciso não chorar
You have to not cry
Maldizer não vale a pena
Cursing is not worth it
Jesus manda perdoar a mulher que é Madalena
Jesus orders the woman Magdalene to be forgiven
E eu fiquei a ver navios
And I watched ships
E eu fiquei a ver navios
And I watched ships
E eu fiquei a ver navios
And I watched ships
E eu fiquei a ver navios
And I watched ships
E eu fiquei a ver navios
And I watched ships
