Lenda da Iara
Rui de Carvalho
Legend of Iara
Serena, mermaid, serene
In the river's mouth, your scent
You have the patterns of the waves
That speak of profane mysteries.
In a kiss, a taste of sweet brew
Beauty and wild smiles
Bringing me treacherous moments
Show me what happiness is.
If you have the right, Iara
To my gasping heart
Show me the tenderness of life
And make this guy a lover.
Your lips the color of acai
Leave me in a hue
Mermaid, serene, mermaid
Take me on your journey.
