Canção Do Mar Lyrics in English Glasya

Home / Lyrics translation / Glasya / Canção Do Mar

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canção Do Mar by Glasya from Portuguese to English.

I went dancing in my skiff

Beyond the cruel sea

And the roaring sea

Says I went to steal

The peerless light

From your so lovely gaze

Come find out if the sea's right

Come here watch my heart dance

If I dance in my skiff

I won't go to the cruel sea

And I won't even tell it where I went to sing

Smile, dance, live, dream with you

Come find out if the sea's right

Come here watch my heart dance

If I dance in my skiff

I won't go to the cruel sea

And I won't even tell it where I went to sing

Smile, dance, live, dream with you

Did you like this lyrics translation?

“Canção Do Mar” may sound like a gentle lullaby to the Atlantic, but Glasya turns it into an adventurous love story that shimmers between waves and moonlight. The singer boards a tiny boat and dares to sail “beyond the cruel sea,” only to be accused by the roaring ocean of stealing the radiant light from her lover’s eyes. With every swell, the sea itself becomes a jealous character, claiming ownership over the sparkle of a romance that refuses to stay on shore.

Glasya’s lyrics answer this challenge with pure defiance and joy. She invites her beloved to come see if the sea is right and watch her heart “dance” instead of letting the waves decide her fate. By vowing to keep her secret harbor—where she will “smile, dance, live, dream” together—she flips the ocean’s menace into a spirited celebration of freedom and devotion. The result is a poetic tug-of-war: the vast, rumbling sea versus a love so bright it might just outshine the tide.
