Mar Y Luna
Chico Buarque
Sea and Moon
They loved urgent love
Mouths salty from the swell
Coasts damaged by the storms
In this city so distant from the sea
They loved serene love
From nocturnal beaches
They lifted their skirts
And without moon they loved in happiness
In that city
So devoid of lunar shine
They loved forbidden love
Today that is known
Everyone tells
That one walked slowly
Pregnant with moon
And the other went naked
Eager for the sea
And they were left marked
Listening to laughter
Shivering with cold
Looking towards the river so full of moon
And that continues
Flowing towards the sea
And they went downstream
Rolling in the bed
And swallowing water
Floating with algae
Dragging leaves
Embracing flowers
Until they shipwrecked
They turned into fish
Turning into clams
Turning into foam
Turning into sand
Silver sand
With full moon
By the seashore
