Porto Sentido

Porto Sentido

Porto Sentido

```Who comes and crosses the riverQuem vem e atravessa o rio
Next to the Serra do PilarJunto á Serra do Pilar
Sees an old group of housesVê um velho casario
That extends to the seaQue se estende até ao mar

Who sees you, coming from the bridgeQuem te vê, ao vir da ponte
You're a Sanjoanina waterfallÉs cascata sanjoanina
Erected on the hillErigida sobre o monte
In the middle of the mistNo meio da neblina

Through alleys and sidewalksPor ruelas e calçadas
From the river to the mouthDa ribeira até á foz
Through dirty and worn stonesPor pedras sujas e gastas
And sad and lonely street lampsE lampiões tristes e sós

That serious and solemn air of yoursEsse teu ar grave e sério
In a face of stoneworkNum rosto de cantaria
That hides the mysteryQue nos oculta o mistério
Of that beautiful and dark lightDessa luz bela e sombria

Seeing you abandoned like thisVer-te assim abandonado
In that dull toneNesse timbre pardacento
In that closed way of yoursNesse teu jeito fechado
Of someone grinding their feelingsDe quem mói o sentimento

And it's always the first timeE é sempre a primeira vez
With each return homeEm cada regresso a casa
To see you again in that prideRever-te nessa altivez
Of a wounded hawk```De milhafre ferido na asa
