Madalena Foi pro Mar [English translation]

Madalena went to the sea

And I was surprised

Whoever may find her

Say there in the open sea

That she needs to come back

To take care of our children

To mock of my eyes

The ship greets me in the open sea

It looks so much like a goodbye

It looks so much like Madalena

It's needed not to cry

To curse, it's not worth

Jesus tells us to forgive

The woman who was Madalena

Madalena went to the sea

And I was surprised
