Lyrics

Hoje fui que a perdi
Mas onde, já nem sei
Me levo para o mar
Em Vera me larguei
E deito nessa dor
Meu corpo sem lugar
Ah, quisera esquecer
A moça que se foi
De nossa Vera Cruz
E o pranto que ficou
Do Norte que sonhei
Das coisas de um lugar
Nos rios me larguei
Correndo sem parar
Buscava Vera Cruz
Nos campos e no mar
Mas ela se soltou
Pra longe se perdeu
Quero em outra mansidão
Um dia ancorar
E ao vento me esquecer
Que ao vento me amarrei
E nele vou partir
Atrás de Vera Cruz
Ah, quisera encontrar
A moça que se foi
Do mar de Vera Cruz
E o pranto que ficou

Lyrics translation

Today I lost it
But where, I don't even know
Take me to the sea
In Vera I let go
And I lie in this pain
My body without Place
Oh, I wish I'd forgotten
The girl who's gone
From our Vera Cruz
And the weeping that stayed
From the North I dreamed
From the things of a place
In the rivers I let go
Running nonstop
I Was Looking For Vera Cruz
In the fields and at sea
But she got loose
Far away is lost
I want in another meekness
One Day anchor
And in the wind forget me
That in the wind I tied myself
And in it I will leave
Behind Vera Cruz
Ah, I'd like to find
The girl who's gone
From the Sea of Vera Cruz
And the weeping that stayed
