Lyrics and translation Geraldo Azevedo - Coqueiros




Coqueiros
Coconuts
Por entre as palmas desse lugar
Among the palms of this place,
Por coqueiros de beira-mar
By the seaside coconut trees,
Beira os olhos do meu amor
My love's eyes wander
Buscando os meus
Searching for mine.
Vento a soprar
As the wind whispers,
Quero as águas verdes
I crave the emerald green waters,
E quero enfim
And finally,
Ser maior do que esse mar
I wish to be greater than this,
Que avança sobre mim
This sea that bears down on me.
Sobre a areia quero amar
On the sands, I seek love,
Mas vou te dizer amor, mulher
But let me tell you, dear heart,
Na paisagem do teu corpo
On the landscape of your body,
Vou deixar meu sorriso
I will sow my smile.
Entre cirandas e cirandar
Among dances and revelry,
A cidade Recife, o sal
The city of Recife, the salt
Do mar que derramei, chorei
Of the sea that I shed, I wept
Quando deixei tudo por
When I left everything behind.
Entre pedras, ruas, meu amor
Among stones, streets, my love alone,
Entre a gente que falava de mim
Amid the idle chatter,
Que parti
I took my leave.
E hoje aqui quis me lembrar
Today in this place, I recall
Vendo as praias tão sem cor, enfim
Those beaches, now faded and drab,
Sem as palmas dos coqueiros meu amor
Bereft of coconut palms, my darling.
Eu me lembro
I remember.
