Morena dos Olhos d'Água [English translation]

Girl with watery eyes,

Stop looking at the sea

Let me show you that life is still worth

The smile that I have been

Keeping for you

Lay here in my chest in pain

It has never challenged the sea's waters

But in it, girl, you'll find an warm embrace

In a way that will please you

Come, listen to the beautiful stories

That I have dreamt, inspired by your love

Let me tell you of my conquests,

Through seas that no one but I know

Your man is gone

He promised to come back soon

But these waves don't tell us

The right time to leave or return

They set sail and go

Time passes and goes away also

But here's my song for you, claiming mercy

Now, girl, come to me...
