Maria Lisboa Lyrics

É varina, usa chinela
Tem movimentos de gata
Na canastra , a caravela
No coração, a fragata

Em vez de corvos no xaile
Gaivotas vêm pousar
Quando o vento a leva ao baile
Baila no baile com o mar

É de conchas o vestido
Tem algas na cabeleira
E nas veias o latido
Do motor duma traineira

Vende sonhos e maresia
Tempestades apregoa
Seu nome próprio: Maria
Seu apelido: Lisboa

She is a varina, and wears chinela
She moves like a cat In the basket, the caravel
In her heart, the frigate

Instead of ravens on the shawl
Sea-gulls came to lay down
When the wind takes her to the ball
She dances at the ball with the see

Her dress is made of shells
She has seaweed on her hair
And in her veins, (has) the bark
Of the engine of a traineira

She sells dreams and the smell of the sea
She announces storms
Her first name: Maria
Her surname: Lisboa
