A Voar Por Cima Das Águas

Oh my darling, how the dancer dances
Oh my love, the caravel as well
Oh pretty one, oh the feathers, oh the sorrows
Being us like sardines
Flying over the waters

Whoever wants can join the circle
And say what they have to say (Right!)

I dreamed for many, many years of this moment arriving
From Lisbon to India, I'm setting sail now
But in front of Sesimbra
A French corsair immediately
Threw us to Melides
With the boat split in three
And by God and by the King
What a great turn I took

Oh, it's so beautiful, oh, it's so beautiful

Oh my darling, how the dancer dances
Oh my love, the caravel as well
Oh pretty one, oh the feathers, oh the sorrows
Being us like sardines
Flying over the waters

Wow, what immense joy
Some more, some less, as it goes (Right!)

But what marvelous lands, it looks more like a watercolor
That I see from my white, blue, and yellow boat
The Moon was sleeping there and with the Sun, it's such a flirt
That the mountains were pregnant and giving birth to silver and gold
With Jesus in my heart, count it up, oh Fernão

Oh, it's so beautiful, oh, it's so beautiful

Oh my darling, how the dancer dances
Oh my love, the caravel as well
Oh pretty one, oh the feathers, oh the sorrows
Being us like sardines
Flying over the waters

Be more careful in the dance
We're so confused (Right!)

I've never seen such dreadful creatures so loose and bold
That we sank immediately with the breath of their grunts
And completely naked on a rock, hands clasped in prayer
My flesh was trembling for not having them in place
And on top of that, it started raining, look at my luck

Oh, it's so beautiful, oh, it's so beautiful

Oh my darling, how the dancer dances
Oh my love, the caravel as well
Oh pretty one, oh the feathers, oh the sorrows
Being us like sardines
Flying over the waters

Hey, brave little boy
Singing in a challenge (Right!)

I killed Moorish jugglers, I was the one who went to war
I sank great fleets, no one ever defeated me
But when I saw a Moor's ass, it was such a big and strong scare
That I even peed my bladder and thought I was done for
Keep the circle going, we're flying away!

Oh, it's so beautiful, oh, it's so beautiful
Oh, it's so beautiful, oh, it's so beautiful
Oh, it's so beautiful, oh, it's so beautiful
Oh, it's so beautiful, oh, it's so beautiful
