Catavento da Sé

Rosa went to the city
Maria went to see the sea
Joana's past her prime
And I'm just watching my street
As it goes by

Mrs. Amélia has passed away
Amadeu's feeling down
One day he wanted to see the sky
He blessed himself with his hat
And flew away

From my street, I see in the distance the windmill of Sé
And the rooster spins with the wind that shifts with the tide
Spinning on its own feet
Against the time that turns the clock of the Sé tower

The cat ran from hunger
The priest decided to stay
The café changed its name
And I'm just watching my street
As it goes by

Maria went to see the sea
Her mom said to be careful
She didn't listen, wanted to get married
If one day she wants to come back
I'll be at the window
