Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

É a luz do sol que incandeia

It's the sunlight that dazzles

Sereia de além-mar

Mermaid from beyond the sea

Clara como o clarão do dia

Clear as the daylight glow

Marejou meu olhar

Moistened my gaze

Olho d'água, beira de rio

Spring, riverbank

Vento vela a bailar

Wind, sail dancing

Barcarola do São Francisco

Barcarole of São Francisco

Me leve para amar

Take me to love

Eu, em sonho um beija-flor

I, in a dream, a hummingbird

Rasgando tardes vou buscar,

Tearing through afternoons, I seek

Em outro céu,

In another sky,

Noite longe, noite longe

Night far, night far

Que ficou em mim

That stayed in me

Quero lembrar

I want to remember

Era um domingo de lua

It was a Sunday with moonlight

Quando deixei Jatobá

When I left Jatobá

Era, quem sabe, esperança

It was, perhaps, hope

Indo a outro lugar

Going elsewhere

Barcarola do São Francisco

Barcarole of São Francisco

Veleja agora no mar

Sailing now on the sea

Sem leme, mapa ou tesouro

Without rudder, map, or treasure

De prata o luar

Silver moonlight
