Meu Amor é Marinheiro

My love is a sailor
And lives on the high seas
His arms are like the wind
No one can tie them down

When he arrives by my side
All my blood is a river
Where my love docks
My heart a ship

My love said that I had
In my mouth a taste of longing
And some hair where
The winds and freedom are born

My love is a sailor
When he arrives by my side
He lights a carnation in his mouth
And sings in this way

I live far away, far away
Where the ships live
But one day I will return
To the waters of our rivers

I will pass through the cities
Like the wind in the sands
And open all the windows
And break all the chains

My love is a sailor
And lives on the high seas
A heart that was born free
Cannot be chained
