Lyrics
Fiz-me ao mar com lua cheia
A esse mar de ruas e cafs
Com vagas de olhos a rolar
Que nem me viam no convs
To cegas no seu vogar
E assim fui na mono
Perdido na imensido
Deparei com uma ilha
Uma pequena maravilha
Meio submersa
Resistindo toada
Deu-me dois dedos de conversa
J cheia de andar calada
Tinha um olhar acanhado
E uma blusa azul-gren
Com o boto desapertado
E por dentro to ousado
Um peito sem soutien
Ancoramos num rochedo
Sacudimos o sal e o medo
Falamos de musica e cinema
Lia Fernando pessoa
E s vezes tambm fazia um poema
E no cabelo vi-lhe conchas
E na boca uma prola a brilhar
Despiu o olhar de defesa
Ps-me o mapa sobre a mesa
Deu-me conta dessas ilhas
Arquiplagos ao luar
Com os areais estendidos
Contra a cegueira do mar
Esperando veleiros perdidos
Lyrics translation
I went to sea with a full moon
To this sea of streets and cafs
With waves of eyes rolling
That did not even see me in the convs
You blind in your rowing
And so I went on mono
Lost in the immense
I came across an island
A little wonder
Half submerged
Resisting toada
Gave me two fingers of conversation
J full of walking silent
Had a narrow look
And a blue blouse-gren
With button unscrewed
And inside so bold
One breast without bra
We anchor on a rock
We shake the salt and the fear
We talk about music and cinema
Lia Fernando pessoa
And sometimes he also made a poem
And in her hair I saw shells
And in the mouth a prole to shine
Undressed the look of Defense
Ps me the map on the table
You gave me an account of these islands.
Moonshine Arquiplagos
With extended Sands
Against sea blindness
Waiting for lost sailboats
