Nicanor

Where could Nicanor be?Onde andará Nicanor?
Had hands like a gardenerTinha mãos de jardineiro
When dealing with loveQuando tratava de amor
So many girls waitingHá tanta moça na espera
His kind springsSuas gentis primaveras
A waste of a flowerUm desperdício de flor
Where could Nicanor be?Onde andará Nicanor?
Had love for the whole portTinha amor pro porto inteiro
A sailor's chestUm peito de remador
Ah, I wish I had the brunettesAh, quem me dera as morenas
To console his sorrowsPra consolar suas penas
To ease his heatPara abrandar seucalor

Look at them always anxiousOlha elas sempre aflitas
Whether the wind blows or the rain fallsBata o vento ou caia chuva
Each one more beautifulCada uma mais bonita
And more widowedE mais viúva
They all make a nestTodas elas fazem ninho
Of longing and virtueDa saudade e da virtude
But affectionMas carinho
May God helpQueira Deus que Deus ajude

Where could Nicanor be?Onde andará Nicanor?
Had knots like a sailorTinha nó de marinheiro
When tying a loveQuando amarrava um amor
But there are hidden cornersMas há recantos guardados
In the seven torn seasNos sete mares rasgados
Seven sins so goodSete pecados tão bons
Where could Nicanor be?Onde andará Nicanor?
