Lyrics
É água no mar…é maré cheia, ô
Mareia, ô…mareia, é água no mar!
É água no mar…é maré cheia, ô
Mareia, ô…mareia
Contam que toda a tristeza que vem da Bahia
Nasceu de uns olhos morenos, molhados de mar
Não sei se é conto de areia, ou se é fantasia
Que a luz da candeia lumia pra gente cantar
Um dia a morena enfeitada de rosas e rendas
Abriu seu sorriso de moça e pediu pra dançar
A noite emprestou as estrelas bordadas de prata
E as águas de amaralina, eram gotas de luar
Era um peito só…cheio de promessa, era só
Era um peito só…cheio de promessa, era só
Quem foi… que mandou o seu amor… se fazer de canoeiro
O vento que rola nas palmas… arrasta o veleiro
E leva pro meio das águas…de Iemanjá
E o mestre valente vagueia
Olhando pra areia sem poder chegar, adeus amor!
Adeus… meu amor não me espera
Porque já vou-me embora
Pro reino que esconde o tesouro… de minha senhora
Desfia colares e conchas… pra vida passar
E deixa de olhar pros veleiros
Adeus meu amor, eu não vou mais voltar
…Foi Beira-Mar…foi Beira-Mar quem chamou
…Foi Beira-Mar, ê ê…foi Beira-Mar
Lyrics translation
It's water in the sea ... it's full tide, O
Tide, O ... tide, it's water in the sea!
It's water in the sea ... it's full tide, O
Tide, O ... tide
They tell that all the sadness that comes from Bahia
Born of dark eyes, wet of the sea
I don't know if it's sand tale, or if it's fantasy
That the light of the lumia candle for us to sing
One day the brunette adorned with roses and lace
She opened her smile and asked to dance
The evening borrowed the silver embroidered stars
And the waters of amaraline were drops of Moonlight
It was just a breast ... full of promise, it was just
It was just a breast ... full of promise, it was just
Who was it ... who sent his love ... to play a canoe
The wind that rolls in the palms ... drags the sailboat
And it leads to the middle of águas...de Yemanja
And the brave master wanders
Looking at the sand without being able to reach, goodbye love!
Goodbye ... My Love does not wait for me
'Cause I'm leaving now.
For the kingdom that hides the treasure ... of my lady
Untie necklaces and shells ... for life to pass
And ceases to look pros sailboats
Goodbye My Love, I will not come back
...It was Seaside ... it was seaside who called
... It was Seaside, it was seaside ...
