Mar e Lua

Sea and Moon

Mar e Lua

They loved urgent loveAmaram o amor urgente
The mouths salty from the sea breezeAs bocas salgadas pela maresia
The backs torn by the stormAs costas lanhadas pela tempestade
In that cityNaquela cidade
Far from the seaDistante do mar
They loved the serene loveAmaram o amor serenado
Of the nightly beachesDas noturnas praias
They lifted their skirtsLevantavam as saias
And bathed in happiness under the moonlightE se enluaravam de felicidade
In that cityNaquela cidade
That has no moonQue não tem luar
They loved the forbidden loveAmavam o amor proibido
Because today it's knownPois hoje é sabido
Everyone tellsTodo mundo conta
That one was dizzyQue uma andava tonta
Pregnant with the moonGrávida de lua
And the other walked nakedE outra andava nua
Eager for the seaÁvida de mar

And they were getting markedE foram ficando marcadas
Listening to laughter, feeling shiversOuvindo risadas, sentindo arrepios
Looking at the river so full of moonOlhando pro rio tão cheio de lua
And that continuesE que continua
Running to the seaCorrendo pro mar
And they went downstreamE foram correnteza abaixo
Rolling in the bedRolando no leito
Swallowing waterEngolindo água
Floating with the algaeBoiando com as algas
Dragging leavesArrastando folhas
Carrying flowersCarregando flores
And dissolvingE a se desmanchar
And they turned into fishE foram virando peixes
Turning into shellsVirando conchas
Turning into pebblesVirando seixos
Turning into sandVirando areia
Silver sandPrateada areia
With full moonCom lua cheia
And by the seashoreE à beira-mar
