Lyrics and translation Geraldo Azevedo - Coqueiros
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
lá
When
I
left
everything
behind.
Entre
pedras,
ruas,
só
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.
