Barco Negro
Amália Rodrigues
Black Boat
In the morning, what fear, that you found me ugly!
I woke up, trembling, lying on the sand
But soon your eyes said no
And the Sun entered my heart
But soon your eyes said no
And the Sun entered my heart
I then saw, on a rock, a cross
And your black boat danced in the light
I saw your arm waving, among the already loose sails
The old women on the beach say you won't return
They are crazy! They are crazy!
I know, my love
That you didn't even leave
Because everything around me
Tells me you're always with me
I know, my love
That you didn't even leave
Because everything around me
Tells me you're always with me
In the wind that throws sand on the windows
In the singing water, in the dying fire
In the warmth of the bed, in the empty benches
Inside my chest, you're always with me
In the warmth of the bed, in the empty benches
Inside my chest, you're always with me
I know, my love
That you didn't even leave
Because everything around me
Tells me you're always with me
I know, my love
That you didn't even leave
Because everything around me
Tells me you're always with me
