Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Filho de pescador eu nasci e aqui me criei

Son of a fisherman, I was born and raised here

Conheço o mar há tanto tempo que já nem me lembro mais

I've known the sea for so long that I don't even remember anymore

Trabalhei noite inteira, e nada foi tudo que ganhei

I worked the whole night, and nothing was all I gained

E agora vens, queres me ensinar aquilo que na vida eu mais sei

And now you come, wanting to teach me what in life I know the most


Nem sei por quê te ouço e lanço as minhas redes onde mandas

I don't even know why I listen to you and cast my nets where you command

E para estremecer a minha alma, voltam cheias, se rasgando

And to shake my soul, they come back full, tearing apart

O que fizeste das minhas certezas, do que eu pensava ser?

What have you done with my certainties, with what I thought to be?

Percebo agora que não passo de um pequeno barco à deriva

Now I realize that I'm nothing but a small boat adrift


Retira-te de mim, porque sou pecador

Withdraw from me, for I am a sinner

Mas deixa vir no vento teu perfume, tua voz

But let your perfume, your voice, come in the wind

Teu ser que é santo

Your being that is holy
