Amaram o amor urgente
They loved urgent love
As bocas salgadas pela maresia
Mouths salty by the sea
As costas lanhadas pela tempestade
The shores washed by the storm
Naquela cidade
In that city
Distante do mar
Far from the sea
Amaram o amor serenado
They loved serene love
Das noturnas praias
Of the night beaches
Levantavam as saias
They lifted their skirts
E se enluaravam de felicidade
And they were full of happiness
Naquela cidade
In that city
Que não tem luar
That there is no moonlight
Amavam o amor proibido
They loved forbidden love
Pois hoje é sabido
Because today it is known
Todo mundo conta
Everyone counts
Que uma andava tonta
That one was dizzy
Grávida de lua
Pregnant with the moon
E outra andava nua
And another was naked
Ávida de mar
Avid for the sea
E foram ficando marcadas
And they were marked
Ouvindo risadas, sentindo arrepios
Hearing laughter, feeling goosebumps
Olhando pro rio tão cheio de lua
Looking at the river so full of moon
E que continua
And it continues
Correndo pro mar
Running to the sea
E foram correnteza abaixo
And went downstream
Rolando no leito
Rolling on the bed
Engolindo água
Swallowing water
Boiando com as algas
Floating with algae
Arrastando folhas
Dragging sheets
Carregando flores
Carrying flowers
E a se desmanchar
And falling apart
E foram virando peixes
And they turned into fish
Virando conchas
Turning shells
Virando seixos
Turning pebbles
Virando areia
Turning to sand
Prateada areia
Silver sand
Com lua cheia
With full moon
E à beira-mar
And by the sea
