O Mar

The Sea

O Mar

The seaO mar
When it breaks on the beachQuando quebra na praia
It's beautifulÉ bonito
It's beautifulÉ bonito

The seaO mar
When a fisherman leaves, he never knows if he will come backPescador quando sai nunca sabe se volta
Don't even know if it staysNem sabe se fica
How many people lost their husbands, their childrenQuanta gente perdeu seus maridos, seus filhos
In the waves of the seaNas ondas do mar

The seaO mar
When it breaks on the beachQuando quebra na praia
It's beautifulÉ bonito
It's beautifulÉ bonito

Pedro lived from fishingPedro vivia da pesca
Get off the boat at six o'clock in the afternoonSaia no barco seis horas da tarde
It only came at sunriseSó vinha na hora do Sol raiá

Everyone liked PedroTodos gostavam de Pedro
And more than all Rosinha de ChicaE mais de que todos Rosinha de Chica
The cutest and best-madeA mais bonitinha e mais bem feitinha
Of all the young ladies there in ArraiáDe todas as mocinha lá do arraiá

Pedro went out in his boatPedro saiu no seu barco
Six o'clock in the afternoonSeis horas da tarde
Spent all nightPassou toda a noite
Didn't come at sunrise timeNão veio na hora do Sol raiá

They found Pedro's bodyDeram com o corpo de Pedro
Played on the beachJogado na praia
Fish gnawedRoído de peixe
No boat, nothingSem barco sem nada
In a corner far away from the arraiáNum canto bem longe lá do arraiá

Poor Rosinha de Chica who was beautifulPobre Rosinha de Chica que era bonita
Now it looks like he's gone crazyAgora parece que endoideceu
Lives on the beach looking at the wavesVive na beira da praia olhando pras ondas
Walking, prowlingAndando, rondando
Saying softlyDizendo baixinho
Died, diedMorreu, morreu
Died, ohMorreu, oh

The seaO mar
When it breaks on the beachQuando quebra na praia
It's beautifulÉ bonito
It's beautifulÉ bonito
