É Doce Morrer No Mar [English translation]
É Doce Morrer No Mar [English translation]
It's sweet to die in the sea
In the green waves of the sea
It's sweet to die in the sea
In the green waves of the sea.
The night that he didn't return
Was saddening for me
The ship came back alone
It was a sad night for me.
It's sweet to die in the sea
In the green waves of the sea
It's sweet to die in the sea
In the green waves of the sea.
The ship parted in the night,
It was morning, it hadn't returned
O lovely sailor
The mermaid has taken him to sea.
It's sweet to die in the sea
In the green waves of the sea
It's sweet to die in the sea
In the green waves of the sea.
Better yet in the green waves of the sea
He has gone and drowned
He's made his wedding bed
In the bosom of Yemoja.
It's sweet to die in the sea
In the green waves of the sea
It's sweet to die in the sea
In the green waves of the sea.
