That comes from the horizonQue vem do horizonte
It is the birthplace of mermaidsÉ o berço da sereias
Legendary and fascinatingLendário e fascinante

Listen to the siren songOlha o canto da sereia
Yalaó, what, yaloáIalaó, oquê, ialoá
On a full moon nightEm noite de lua cheia
I hear the mermaid singOuço a sereia cantar
And the moonlight smilingE o luar sorrindo
So be enchantedEntão se encanta
With sweet melodyCom doce melodia
The madrigals will awakenOs madrigais vão despertar

She lives in the seaEla mora no mar
She plays in the sandEla brinca na areia
In the swing of the wavesNo balanço das ondas
She sows peaceA paz ela semeia
She lives in the seaEla mora no mar
She plays in the sandEla brinca na areia
In the swing of the wavesNo balanço das ondas
She sows peaceA paz ela semeia

The whole court decked outToda a corte engalanada
Transforming the sea into a flowerTransformando o mar em flor
See the empire in loveVê o império enamorado
Reach the abode of loveChegar a morada do amor
