Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sereia De Água Doce by Maria Bethânia from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Atiraste uma pedra
You threw a stone
No peito de quem
In whose chest
Só lhe fez tanto bem
It just did him so much good
E quebraste um telhado
And you broke a roof
Perdeste um abrigo
You lost a shelter
Feriste um amigo
You hurt a friend
Conseguiste magoar
You managed to hurt
Quem das mágoas te livrou
Who freed you from your sorrows
E atiraste uma pedra
And you threw a stone
Com as mãos que esta boca
With hands than this mouth
Tantas vezes beijou
Kissed so many times
Quebraste um telhado
You broke a roof
Que nas noites de frio
That on cold nights
Te servia de abrigo
It served you as a shelter
Perdeste um amigo
You lost a friend
Que os teus erros não viu
That you didn't see your mistakes
E o teu pranto enxugou
And your tears were wiped away
Mas acima de tudo
But most of all
Atiraste uma pedra
You threw a stone
Turvando essa água
Muddying this water
Esta água que um dia
This water that one day
Por estranha ironia
By strange irony
Tua sede matou
Your thirst quenched
Atiraste uma pedra
You threw a stone
No peito de quem
In whose chest
Só lhe fez tanto bem
It just did him so much good
E quebraste um telhado
And you broke a roof
Perdeste um abrigo
You lost a shelter
Feriste um amigo
You hurt a friend
Conseguiste magoar
You managed to hurt
Quem das mágoas te livrou
Who freed you from your sorrows
Atiraste uma pedra
You threw a stone
Com as mãos que esta boca
With hands than this mouth
Tantas vezes beijou
Kissed so many times
Quebraste um telhado
You broke a roof
Que nas noites de frio
That on cold nights
Te servia de abrigo
It served you as a shelter
Perdeste um amigo
You lost a friend
Que os teus erros não viu
That you didn't see your mistakes
E o teu pranto enxugou
And your tears were wiped away
Mas acima de tudo
But most of all
Atiraste uma pedra
You threw a stone
Turvando essa água
Muddying this water
Essa água que um dia
This water that one day
Por estranha ironia
By strange irony
Tua sede matou
Your thirst quenched
Atiraste uma pedra
You threw a stone
No peito de quem
In whose chest
Só lhe fez tanto bem
It just did him so much good
