Oh mar, oh mar

Mar azul, subi mansinho
Blue sea, rise gently
Lua cheia lumiam caminho
Full moon illuminates the path
Pam ba nha terra di meu
To go to my land
São Vicente pequinino, pam bà braçá nha cretcheu
Small São Vicente, to embrace my beloved
Mar azul, subi mansinho
Blue sea, rise gently
Lua cheia lumiam caminho

Small São Vicente, to embrace my beloved
Oh mar, anô passá tempo corrê
Oh sea, years pass, time runs
Sol raiá, lua sai
Sun rises, moon sets
A mi ausente na terra longe
I am absent in a distant land
Oh mar, oh mar
Oh sea, oh sea
Oh mar, anô passá tempo corrê
Oh sea, years pass, time runs
Sol raiá, lua sai
Sun rises, moon sets
A mi ausente na terra longe
I am absent in a distant land
Oh mar, oh mar
Oh sea, oh sea
Mar azul, subi mansinho
Blue sea, rise gently
Lua cheia lumiam caminho
Full moon illuminates the path
Pam ba nha terra di meu
To go to my land
São Vicente pequinino, pam bà braçá nha cretcheu
Small São Vicente, to embrace my beloved
Mar azul, subi mansinho
Blue sea, rise gently
Lua cheia lumiam caminho
Full moon illuminates the path
Pam ba nha terra di meu
