Gaivota [English translation]

If a seagull would come

Bring me the sky of Lisbon

In the drawing that made

In that sky where the look

Is a wing that doesn't fly

Falters and falls into the sea

What a perfect heart

Would beat in my chest

My love, in your hand

That hand where it would fit

My heart perfectly

If a portuguese sailor

Wandering through the 7 seas

Would be, who knows the first

To tell me what invented

If a look of a new shine

To my look would enlace

What a perfect heart

Would beat in my chest

My love, in your hand

That hand where it would fit

My heart perfectly

If when saying farewell to life

All birds in the sky

Would give me when I part

Your ultimate look

That look that was only yours

My love that were the first

What a perfect heart

Would die in my chest

My love, in your hand

That hand were perfectly

My heart beat (past tense)

My love

in your hand

That hand were perfectly

My heart beat (past tense)
