Maresia (Se Eu Fosse Um Marinheiro)
Adriana Calcanhotto
Sea Breeze (If I Were a Sailor)
My love left me
Took my identity
I no longer know where I am
Nor where reality lies
Ah, if I were a sailor
It would have been me who left
But my light-hearted heart
Would not have been broken
Or if it broke, it would mend
With a sea breeze glue
I loved and unloved
Without burden and with poetry
Ah, if I were a sailor
My home would be sweet
Not just Rio de Janeiro
But the vastness and the sea
East, west, north, south
Where a man finds himself
When the Sun shines on the blue
Or when the Moon is on the sea
I wouldn't seek comfort
Nor gather money
One love in every port
Ah, if I were a sailor
I wouldn't think about money
One love in every port
Ah, if I were a sailor
My love left me
Took my identity
I no longer know where I am
Nor where reality lies
Ah, if I were a sailor
It would have been me who left
But my light-hearted heart
Would not have been broken
Or if it broke, it would mend
With a sea breeze glue
I loved and unloved
Without burden and with poetry
Ah, if I were a sailor
My home would be sweet
Not just Rio de Janeiro
But the vastness and the sea
East, west, north, south
Where a man finds himself
When the Sun shines on the blue
Or when the Moon is on the sea
I wouldn't seek comfort
Nor gather money
One love in every port
Ah, if I were a sailor
I wouldn't think about money
One love in every port
Ah, if I were a sailor
