Maré Lyrics in English Ricardo Ribeiro , Ana Moura

Feel the pull of the tide and the warmth of Portuguese sunlight. In “Maré,” Ricardo Ribeiro joins forces with fado star Ana Moura to craft a poetic conversation between two souls who find redemption in each other. The sea is everywhere: its salty kiss, its gentle tide, its endless rhythm. As the singers dive into memories “onde quiseste morar” (where you chose to live), they show how revisiting the past can wash over wounds like soothing ocean water, turning pain into calm.

Love becomes a tide that keeps returning, no matter how far you drift. The lyrics circle around images of drinking in someone’s “sal” (salt), spinning around the sun, and hearing prayers in the surf. Every refrain—“eu sei que me salvas” (I know you save me)—feels like a wave that quietly reassures and renews. Whether you picture a windswept Portuguese coastline or the private coastline of your own memories, “Maré” invites you to surrender to that soft, persistent tide of affection that rescues us again and again.
