Verse 1
Todos os dias maria
Every day maria
Olhava o mar pela janela
I was looking out the window
Maria era do mar
Mary was from the sea
Mas o mar não era dela
But the sea wasn't hers
E por viver numa ilha
And for living on an island
No meio do azul plantada
In the middle of the planted blue
Maria além do nome
Mary beyond the name
Tinha o mar como morada
I had the sea as an address
Maria, maria do mar
Mary, mary of the sea
Se o vento voltar
If the wind comes back
Solta o cabelo
Let go of your hair
Vai ver os barcos partir
You'll see the boats go
O dia há-de vir
The day will come
Em que um queira ficar
Where one wants to stay
E só no teu nome navegar
And only in your name navigate
Verse 2
Sabe prever tempestades
You know how to predict storms
Conhece as marés
Know the tides
E os peixes que bem cedo
And the fish that very early
Lhe vêm beijar os pés
They come to kiss your feet
Maria, maria do mar
Mary, mary of the sea
Se o vento voltar
If the wind comes back
Solta o cabelo
Let go of your hair
Vai ver os barcos partir
You'll see the boats go
O dia há-de vir
The day will come
Em que um queira ficar
Where one wants to stay
E só no teu nome navegar
And only in your name navigate
Maria, maria do mar
Mary, mary of the sea
Se o vento voltar
If the wind comes back
Solta o cabelo
Let go of your hair
Vai ver os barcos partir
You'll see the boats go
O dia há-de vir
The day will come
Em que um queira ficar
Where one wants to stay
E só no teu nome navegar
And only in your name navigate
