Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Oh, mar salgado

Oh, salty sea

Quanto do teu sal

How much of your salt

São lágrimas de Portugal

Are tears of Portugal


Por te cruzarmos quantas mães choraram

For crossing you, how many mothers cried

Quantos filhos em vão rezaram

How many sons prayed in vain

Quantas noivas ficaram por casar

How many brides remained unmarried

Para que fosses nosso, oh, mar

So that you would be ours, oh sea


Valeu a pena, sempre vale a pena

It was worth it, always worth it

Se alma não é pequena

If the soul is not small


Quem passar além do bojador

Whoever passes beyond Bojador

Tem de passar além da dor

Must go beyond pain


Deus, ao mar o perigo e o abismo deu

God gave the sea danger and abyss

Mas nele é que espelhou o céu

But in it, He reflected the sky


Oh, mar salgado!

Oh, salty sea!
