Maria Lisboa

She's a fishmonger, wears flip-flops,É varina, usa chinela,
Moves like a catTem movimentos de gata

In the basket, the caravel,Na canastra, a caravela,
In the heart, the frigateNo coração, a fragata
In the basket, the caravel,Na canastra, a caravela,
In the heart, the frigateNo coração, a fragata

Instead of crows on her shawlEm vez de corvos no xaile
Seagulls come to restGaivotas vêm pousar

When the wind takes her to the dance,Quando o vento a leva ao baile,
She dances at the dance with the seaBaila no baile com o mar
When the wind takes her to the danceQuando o vento a leva ao baile
She dances at the dance with the seaBaila no baile com o mar

Her dress is made of shellsÉ de conchas o vestido
She has seaweed in her hairTem algas na cabeleira

And in her veins the beatingE nas veias o latido
Of the engine of a trawlerDo motor duma traineira
And in her veins the beatingE nas veias o latido
Of the engine of a trawlerDo motor duma traineira

She sells dreams and sea breeze,Vende sonho e maresia,
Announces storms,Tempestades apregoa,
Her first name - Maria,Seu nome próprio - Maria,
Her last name - LisbonSeu apelido - Lisboa
Her first name - MariaSeu nome próprio - Maria
Her last name - LisbonSeu apelido - Lisboa
