The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Barco Negro" by Amália Rodrigues.
Lyrics
De manha com medo que me achasses feia!
Acordei tremendo deitada na areia
Mas logo os teus olhos disseram que nao
E o sol penetrou no meu coracao
Vi depois numa rocha uma cruz
E o teu barco negro dancava na luz
Vi teu braco acenando entre as velas ja soltas
Dizem as velhas da praia que nao voltas
Sao loucas, sao loucas
Eu sei meu amor nem chegaste a partir
Tudo em meu redor
Me diz que 'stas sempre comigo
No vento que lanca areia nos vidros
Na agua que canta no fogo mortico
No calor do leito nos bancos vazios
No meu proprio peito 'stas sempre comigo!
Lyrics translation
In the morning I was afraid you'd think I was ugly!
I woke up trembling lying in the sand
But soon your eyes said that no
And the sun penetrated into my heart
I saw then on a rock a cross
And your black boat danced in the light
I saw your arm waving between the candles already loose
They say the old women on the beach don't come back
Sao madcas, sao madcas
I know my love you didn't even get to leave
Everything around me
Tells me that ' stas always with me
In the wind that throws sand in the windows
In the water that sings in the fire mortico
In the heat of the bed on the empty benches
In my own bosom, you're always with me!
