Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Tu, te abeiraste na praia

You approached on the shore

Não buscaste nem sábios nem ricos

You sought neither the wise nor the wealthy

Somente queres que eu te siga

You only want me to follow you


Senhor, tu me olhaste nos olhos

Lord, you looked into my eyes

A sorrir, pronunciaste meu nome

Smiling, you pronounced my name

Lá na praia eu larguei o meu barco

On the beach, I left my boat

Junto a ti buscarei outro mar...

With you, I will seek another sea...


Tu saber bem que em barco

You know well that in a boat

Eu não quero nem ouro nem prata

I want neither gold nor silver

Somente redes e o meu trabalho

Only nets and my work


Tu, minhas mãos solicitas

You, asking for my hands

Meu cansaço que os outros descanse

My weariness for others to rest

Amor que almeja seguir amando

Love that aspires to keep loving


Tu, pescador de outro lagos

You, fisher of other lakes

Ânsia eterna de almas que esperam

Eternal longing for souls waiting

Bondoso amigo que assim me chamas

Kind friend who calls me this way
