Lyrics
Amaram
O amor urgente
As bocas salgadas
Pela maresia
As costas lenhadas
Pela tempestade
Naquela cidade
Distante do mar
Amaram
O amor serenado
Das noturnas praias
Levantavam as saias
E se enluaravam
De felicidade
Naquela cidade
Que não tem luar
Amavam
O amor proibido
Pois hoje é sabido
— Todo mundo conta
Que uma andava tonta
Grávida de lua
E outra andava nua
À vida de mar
E foram
Ficando marcadas
Ouvindo risadas
Sentindo arrepios
Olhando pro rio
Tão cheio de lua
E que continua
Correndo pro mar
E foram
Correnteza abaixo
Rolando no leito
Engolindo água
Boiando com as algas
Arrastando folhas
Carregando flores
E a se desmanchar
E foram
Virando peixes
Virando conchas
Virando seixos
Virando areia
Prateada areia
Com lua cheia
E à beira-mar
Lyrics translation
They loved
The urgent love
The salty mouths
By the sea
The Woody back
By the storm
In that city
Far from the sea
They loved
Love serenaded
Of the night beaches
They lifted their skirts
# And they'd get so excited #
Of happiness
In that city
That has no moonlight
They loved
Forbidden love
For today it is known
- Everybody counts
That one was dizzy
Pregnant Moon
And another walked naked
To sea life
And were
Getting tagged
Listening to laughter
Feeling chills
Looking Pro rio
So full of Moon
And that continues
Running to the sea
And were
Current below
Rolling on the bed
Swallowing water
Floating with algae
Dragging leaves
Carrying flowers
And falling apart
And were
Turning fish
Turning shells
Turning pebbles
Turning sand
Silvery sand
With full moon
And by the sea
