When I arrived
In the hold of this sailboat
It was one day after another
Oh sea and faith in the whole world
I made the city
Mass, iron, stone and lime
I drink the wine of sweat
Oh sea that drowns me in the backyard
I clean the sour
̉ palm of tired hand
I put it down and paddle, I pick up the paddle
Oh sea I leave the island, I catch nothing
And if I return
̉ beach of the salty floor
Warm songs in the moonlight
Oh sea with a touch of fado
