Lyrics

A grande nuvem escura vai-se embora
Dissolve-se a loucura da tormenta
A maré recua agora plana e lenta
As gaivotas largam terra sem demora
Sobrevoam sem ruído o seu rochedo
De tanta vaga e espuma já dormente
Enquanto o sol que brilha novamente
Lá beija a areia toda já sem medo
Fui ver, fui ver
A tempestade, vim a correr
Fui ver, fui ver
A tempestade, vim-te dizer
Destroç os de madeira na corrente
Deixam ver o que em tempos foi uma proa
Pintada de carinho e muitas cores
Ao estilo desta nossa boa gente
Fica o drama dos que esperam na falÃ(c)sia
Por quem Deus já destinou à eternidade
E é lição que contra Deus não há vontade
Fica a fúria calma da grande saudade

Lyrics translation

The big dark cloud is gone
Dissolves the madness of the storm
The tide recedes now flat and slow
Seagulls leave land without delay
Noiselessly fly over your rock
From so much vague and already dormant foam
While the sun shines again
There kisses all the sand already without fear
I went to see, I went to see
The storm, I came to run
I went to see, I went to see
The storm, I came to tell you
Wood destruction in the chain
Let's see what was once a bow
Painted with affection and many colors
In the style of this good people of ours
The drama of those who wait in falan (C) sia
For whom God has already destined eternity
And it is a lesson that against God there is no will
It is the calm fury of the great longing
