Are queens of the seaSão rainhas do mar

Sea, mysterious seaMar, misterioso mar
That comes from the horizonQue vem do horizonte
It's the cradle of the mermaidsÉ o berço das sereias
Legendary and fascinatingLendário e fascinante
Listen to the mermaid's songOlha o canto da sereia
Ialao, oque, ialoaIalaó, oquê, ialoá
On a full moon nightEm noite de lua cheia
I hear the mermaid sing (and the moonlight)Ouço a sereia cantar (e o luar )
And the moonlight smilingE o luar sorrindo
Then it enchantsEntão se encanta
With sweet melodiesCom as doces melodias
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 sway of the wavesNo balanço das ondas
She sows peaceA paz, ela semeia

The whole court adornedToda a corte engalanada
Turning the sea into a flowerTransformando o mar em flor
See the Empire in loveVê o Império enamorado
Arriving at the dwelling of loveChegar a morado do amor
