O meu avô atravessou todas as ondas
My grandfather went through all the waves
Cruzou as monções e arpoou as baleias
Crossed the monsoon and pruned the whales
Cantava de noite uma canção mágica
Sang a magic song at night
Que chama às redes os bandos de moreias
Who calls the networks the flocks of brunettes
Contou-me histórias de grutas azuis
He told me stories of blue caves
Onde as medusas estão de guarda às maresias
Where jellyfish are guarding the sea
E de mulheres como estátuas de sal
And women like salt statues
Para sempre à sua espera em praias vazias
Forever waiting for you on empty beaches
O meu avô amou a baleia branca
My grandfather loved the white whale
Por ela se foi perder nos dentes do mar
For her was lost in the teeth of the sea
Mas deixou um mapa no meu travesseiro
But you left a map on my pillow
Para quando também eu já não quiser voltar
For when I don't want to go back too
Só eu conheço o rumo do norte
Only I know the way north
Que atravessa os olhos verdes das sereias
That crosses the green eyes of mermaids
Até às baías de cristais de gelo
To the bays of ice crystals
Onde em segredo se vão amar as baleias
Where in secret will love whales
