English Translation

Mariazinha, deita os olhos pro mar

Mariazinha, turn your eyes to the sea

Pela tardinha, quando a noite espreitar

In the evening, when the night approaches

E no verde das águas sem fundo

And in the green of the bottomless waters

Já se perde da esperança do mundo, a afundar, a afundar

Hope for the world is already lost, sinking, sinking


Mariazinha, deita os olhos pro mar

Mariazinha, turn your eyes to the sea

Tão pequenina, sem saber que pensar

So small, not knowing what to think

Vê a roda do mundo girando

She sees the wheel of the world turning

E os navios ao longe passando, sem parar, sem parar

And the ships passing in the distance, without stopping, without stopping


Mariazinha, deita os olhos pro mar

Mariazinha, turn your eyes to the sea

Tão quietinha, a chorar, a chorar

So quiet, crying, crying

Uma fonte de sangue no peito

A fountain of blood in her chest

Uma sombra na boca e um trejeito no olhar, sem parar

A shadow on her mouth and a grimace in her gaze, without stopping


Mariazinha, deita os olhos pro mar

Mariazinha, turn your eyes to the sea

Tão caladinha, a chamar, a chamar

So quiet, calling, calling

Vai pro fundo da noite fria

Go into the depth of the cold night

Numa barca de rendas, vazia, a afundar, sem parar

In a boat of lace, empty, sinking, without stopping


Mariazinha, com rendas de algas tapada

Mariazinha, covered in lace of algae

Tão quietinha

So quiet

No fundo do mar pousada

Resting at the bottom of the sea
