Windmill of Sé

António Zambujo

Catavento da Sé

Rosa foi pra cidade
Maria foi ver o mar
Joana passou da idade
E eu vou vendo a minha rua
A ver passar

Dona Amélia morreu
Amadeu desanimou
Um dia quis ver o céu
Benzeu-se com o chapéu
E voou

Da minha rua eu vejo ao longe o catavento da Sé
E o galo gira ao sabor do vento que vira com a maré
Gira pelo próprio pé
Contra o tempo que gira o relógio da torre da Sé

O gato fugiu da fome
O padre deixou-se ficar
O café mudou de nome
E eu vou vendo a minha rua
A ver passar

Maria foi ver o mar
A mãe disse cautela
Não ouviu, quis-se casar
Se um dia quiser voltar
Vou estar à janela

Da minha rua eu vejo ao longe o catavento da Sé
E o galo gira ao sabor do vento que vira com a maré
Gira pelo próprio pé
Contra o tempo que gira o relógio da torre da Sé

Maria foi ver o mar
A mãe disse cautela
Não ouviu, quis-se casar
Se um dia quiser voltar
Vou estar à janela

A ver a minha rua
A ver passar

Windmill of Sé

Rosa went to the city
Maria went to see the sea
Joana's past her prime
And I'm just watching my street
As it goes by

Mrs. Amélia has passed away
Amadeu's feeling down
One day he wanted to see the sky
He blessed himself with his hat
And flew away

From my street, I see in the distance the windmill of Sé
And the rooster spins with the wind that shifts with the tide
Spinning on its own feet
Against the time that turns the clock of the Sé tower

The cat ran from hunger
The priest decided to stay
The café changed its name
And I'm just watching my street
As it goes by

Maria went to see the sea
Her mom said to be careful
She didn't listen, wanted to get married
If one day she wants to come back
I'll be at the window

She didn't listen, wanted to get married
If one day she wants to come back
I'll be at the window

Watching my street
