Gaivota [English translation]

If a seagull would come

To bring me Lisbon's sky

In the drawing that it 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

Perfectly my heart

If a portuguese sailor

Wanderer of the 7 seas

Would be, who knows the first

To tell me what invented

If a look of a new glow

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

Perfectly my heart

If when saying farewell to life

All the birds of the sky

Would give me when we part

Your ultimate look

That look that was only yours

My love who was the first

What a perfect heart

Would die in my chest

My love, in your hand

That hand were perfectly

My heart once beat

My love

in your hand

That hand were perfectly

My heart once beat
