The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Caravelas" by Mariza.
Lyrics
Cheguei a meio da vida já cansada
De tanto caminhar! já me perdi!
Dum estranho país que nunca vi
Sou neste mundo imenso a exilada
Tanto tenho aprendido e não sei nada
E as torres de marfim que construí
Em trágica loucura as destruí
Por minhas próprias mãos de malfadada!
Se eu sempre fui assim este mar morto:
Mar sem marés, sem vagas e sem porto
Onde velas de sonhos se rasgaram!
Caravelas doiradas a bailar…
Ai quem me dera as que eu deitei ao mar!
As que eu lancei à vida, e não voltaram…
Lyrics translation
I came to the middle of life already tired
From all the Walking! I'm lost!
From a strange country I've never seen
I am in this immense world the exiled
So much I have learned and know nothing
And the ivory towers I built
In tragic madness I destroyed them
By my own ill-fated hands!
If I've always been this way this Dead Sea:
Sea without tides, without vacancies and without port
Where Dream candles were torn!
Golden Caravelas dancing…
I wish I had the ones I threw overboard!
The ones I threw to life, and they didn't come back…
