A Barca Dos Amantes
Milton Nascimento
The Boat of Lovers
Ah, how much I wanted to sail
Forever the boat of lovers
Where what I know ceased to be
Where to where I go I had not gone before
Ah, how much I wanted to achieve
To bring the boat to dawn
And unfurl the white cloth
In the most beloved land
And that everywhere your body
Be my standard-bearer
Planted in the deepest sky
I can sway in the wind
And show the color to the world
Ah, how much I wanted to sail
Forever the boat of lovers
Where what I saw made me sail
From my own courses, to wandering docks
Ah, how much I wanted to spread out
To braid the calm
Sight land and not know
If it still is when it's day
And unfurl the white cloth
In the most beloved land
