Lyrics and translation Trio Esperança - Mar e lua

Mar e lua

Mar e Lua
Chico Buarque
Composição: Chico Buarque
Amaram o amor urgente
As bocas salgadas pela maresia
As costas lanhadas pela tempestade
Naquela cidade
Distante do mar
Amaram o amor serenado
Das noturnas praias
Levantavam as saias
E se enluaravam de felicidade
Naquela cidade
Que não tem luar
Amavam o amor proibido
Pois hoje é sabido
Todo mundo conta
Que uma andava tonta
Grávida de lua
E outra andava nua
Ávida de mar
E foram ficando marcadas
Ouvindo risadas, sentindo arrepio
Olhando pro rio tão cheio de lua
E que continua
Correndo pro mar
E foram correnteza abaixo
Rolando no leito
Engolindo água
Rolando com as algas
Arrastando folhas
Carregando flores
E a se desmanchar
E foram virando peixes
Virando conchas
Virando seixos
Virando areia
Prateada areia
Com lua cheia
E à beira-mar

Sea and Moon

Sea and Moon
Chico Buarque
Composition: Chico Buarque
They loved the urgent love
Their mouths salty from the sea spray
Their backs lacerated by the storm
In that city
Far from the sea
They loved the serene love
Of the nocturnal beaches
They would lift their skirts
And bathe in the moonlight
In that city
That has no moonlight
They loved the forbidden love
For today it is known
That everyone tells
That one was dizzy
Pregnant with the moon
And the other was naked
Eager for the sea
And they were becoming marked
Hearing laughter, feeling chills
Looking at the river so full of moon
And that continues
Flowing to the sea
And they went down the current
Rolling in the bed
Gobbling water
Rolling with seaweed
Dragging leaves
Carrying flowers
And apart
And they were turning into fish
Turning into shells
Turning into pebbles
Turning into sand
Silver sand
With a full moon
And by the sea
