Lyrics
Canoa de vela erguida
Que vens do Cais da Ribeira
Gaivota, que andas perdida
Sem encontrar companheira
O vento sopra nas fragas
O Sol parece um morango
E o Tejo baila com as vagas
A ensaiar um fandango
(refrão:)
Canoa
Conheces bem
Quando há norte pela proa
Quantas docas tem Lisboa
E as muralhas que ela tem
Canoa
Por onde vais?
Se algum barco te abalroa
Nunca mais voltas ao cais
Nunca, nunca, nunca mais
Canoa de vela panda
Que vens da boca da barra
E trazes na aragem branda
Gemidos de uma guitarra
Teu arrais prendeu a vela
E se adormeceu, deixa-lo
Agora muita cautela
Não vá o mar acordá-lo
Lyrics translation
Upright sailing canoe
That you come from the pier of Ribeira
Gull, you're lost
Without finding mate
The wind blows in the strawberries
The Sun looks like a strawberry
And the Tagus dances with the waves
Rehearsing a fandango
(chorus:)
Canoe
You know well
When there is north by the bow
How many docks has Lisbon
And the walls she has
Canoe
Where Are you going?
If a boat hits you
Never go back to the pier
Never, Never, Never Again
Panda sailing canoe
That you come from the mouth of the bar
And you bring in the soft plow
Groans of a guitar
Your arris held the candle
And if he fell asleep, let him
Now a lot of caution
Don't go the sea wake you up
