Praia tão vermelha
beach so red
Me traga passageira
bring me passenger
Na pedra da ladeira
On the rock on the slope
Calçada na esteira
sidewalk on the treadmill
Na areia a beleza-iá
In the sand the beauty
Que deixei por lá
that I left there
Praia da costeira
coastal beach
Na barra da Ribeira
At the Ribeira bar
A saia costumeira
the usual skirt
Na sala, na maneira
In the room, in the way
Que fala a tristeza-iá
What does sadness say?
Que deixei por lá
that I left there
Mais que a paisagem
More than the landscape
Imensa na fluência do mar
Immense in the flow of the sea
Falta sua imagem presença
Your image is missing
O corpo real
the real body
Água aguaceira
shower water
Que lava cada telha
that washes every tile
Na calha a goteira
In the gutter the drip
Pingava cachoeira
dripped waterfall
Enxagua a certeza-iá
Rinse the certainty
Que deixei por lá
that I left there
De graça numa feira
for free at a fair
Na praça da igreja
On the church square
A graça que gorjeia
The grace that warbles
Da asa voadeira
From the flying wing
Gostava a surpresa-iá
I liked the surprise
Que deixei por lá
that I left there
Mais que a paisagem
More than the landscape
Imensa na fluência do mar
Immense in the flow of the sea
Falta sua imagem presença
Your image is missing
O corpo real
the real body
Mais que a paisagem
More than the landscape
Imensa na fluência do mar
Immense in the flow of the sea
Falta sua imagem presença
Your image is missing
O corpo real
the real body
