Lyrics
Eu sei, meu amor, que nem chegaste a partir
Pois tudo em meu redor me diz que estás sempre comigo
De manhã, que medo, que me achasses feia!
Acordei, tremendo, deitada na areia
Mas logo os teus olhos disseram que não
E o sol penetrou no meu coração
Vi depois, numa rocha, uma cruz
E o teu barco negro dançava na luz
Vi teu braço acenando, entre as velas já soltas
Dizem as velhas da praia que não voltas:
No vento que lança areia nos vidros;
Na água que canta, no fogo mortiço;
No calor do leito, nos bancos vazios;
Dentro do meu peito, estás sempre comigo
Lyrics translation
I know, my love, you didn't even get to leave
For everything around me tells me that you are always with me
In the morning, I'm afraid you'd think I was ugly.
I woke up, trembling, lying in the sand
But soon your eyes said no
And the sun penetrated into my heart
I saw then, on a rock, a cross
And your black boat danced in the light
I saw your arm waving, between the candles already loose
They say the old ladies on the beach don't come back:
In the wind that throws sand on the glasses;
In the singing water, in the dying fire;
In the heat of the bed, in the empty benches;
Inside my chest, you're always with me
