Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sereia by Lulu Santos from Portuguese to English.
Clara como a luz do Sol
Clear as the light of the Sun
Clareira luminosa
Luminous clearing
Nessa escuridão
In this darkness
Bela como a luz da Lua
Beautiful as the light of the Moon
Estrela do Oriente
Eastern Star
Nesses mares do sul
In these southern seas
Clareira azul no céu
Blue clearing in the sky
Na paisagem
In the landscape
Será magia, miragem, milagre
Is it magic, mirage, miracle
Será mistério
Is it a mystery
Clara como a luz do Sol
Clear as the light of the Sun
Clareira luminosa
Luminous clearing
Nessa escuridão
In this darkness
Bela como a luz da Lua
Beautiful as the light of the Moon
Estrela do oriente
Eastern star
Nesses mares do sul
In these southern seas
Clareira azul no céu
Blue clearing in the sky
Na paisagem
In the landscape
Será magia, miragem, milagre
Is it magic, mirage, miracle
Será mistério
Is it a mystery
Prateando horizontes
Silvering horizons
Brilham rios, fontes
Rivers, springs shine
Numa cascata de luz
In a waterfall of light
No espelho dessas águas
In the mirror of these waters
Vejo a face luminosa do amor
I see the luminous face of love
As ondas vão e vem
The waves come and go
E vão e são como o tempo
And go and are like time
Luz do divinal querer
Light of divine will
Seria uma sereia ou seria só
Could it be a mermaid or just
Delírio tropical, fantasia
Tropical delirium, fantasy
Ou será um sonho de criança
Or is it a child's dream
Sob o Sol da manhã
Under the morning Sun
Clara como a luz do Sol
Clear as the light of the Sun
Clareira luminosa
Luminous clearing
Nessa escuridão
In this darkness
Bela como a luz da Lua
Beautiful as the light of the Moon
Estrela do Oriente
Eastern Star
Nesses mares do sul
In these southern seas
Clareira azul no céu
Blue clearing in the sky
Na paisagem
In the landscape
Será magia, miragem, milagre
Is it magic, mirage, miracle
Será mistério
Is it a mystery
Prateando horizontes
Silvering horizons
Brilham rios, fontes
Rivers, springs shine
Numa cascata de luz
In a waterfall of light
No espelho dessas águas
In the mirror of these waters
Vejo a face luminosa do amor
I see the luminous face of love
As ondas vão e vem
The waves come and go
E vão e são como o tempo
And go and are like time
Luz do divinal querer
Light of divine will
Seria uma sereia ou seria só
Could it be a mermaid or just
Delírio tropical, fantasia
Tropical delirium, fantasy
Ou será um sonho de criança
Or is it a child's dream
Sob o Sol da manhã
Under the morning Sun
