Catavento da Sé

Windmill of Sé

Catavento da Sé

Rosa went to the cityRosa foi pra cidade
Maria went to see the seaMaria foi ver o mar
Joana's past her primeJoana passou da idade
And I'm just watching my streetE eu vou vendo a minha rua
As it goes byA ver passar

Mrs. Amélia has passed awayDona Amélia morreu
Amadeu's feeling downAmadeu desanimou
One day he wanted to see the skyUm dia quis ver o céu
He blessed himself with his hatBenzeu-se com o chapéu
And flew awayE voou

From my street, I see in the distance the windmill of SéDa minha rua eu vejo ao longe o catavento da Sé
And the rooster spins with the wind that shifts with the tideE o galo gira ao sabor do vento que vira com a maré
Spinning on its own feetGira pelo próprio pé
Against the time that turns the clock of the Sé towerContra o tempo que gira o relógio da torre da Sé

The cat ran from hungerO gato fugiu da fome
The priest decided to stayO padre deixou-se ficar
The café changed its nameO café mudou de nome
And I'm just watching my streetE eu vou vendo a minha rua
As it goes byA ver passar

Maria went to see the seaMaria foi ver o mar
Her mom said to be carefulA mãe disse cautela
She didn't listen, wanted to get marriedNão ouviu, quis-se casar
If one day she wants to come backSe um dia quiser voltar
I'll be at the windowVou estar à janela
