Paroles et traduction Ana Moura - E Viemos Nascidos do Mar (Live)

E Viemos Nascidos do Mar (Live)

E muito se espantam da nossa brancura entretanto,
E muito pasmavam de olhar olhos claros assim,
Palpavam as mãos e os braços e outras partes, portanto,
Esfregavam de cuspo minha pele para ver se era enfim,
Uma tinta ou se era de estampa uma carne tão branca,
Vendo assim que era branco o meu corpo e a brancura de então,
Extasiam e muito se pasmam de tudo em admiração;

E eram os brancos da sombra nascidos do mar pelas naus,
Guiados pelos ventos do céu e pelo voo das aves;

Eles escondem as suas vergonhas cobertas de estopas,
E eram grandes e gordos e baços e enxutos, os pretos,
Pelas ventosidades confundem traseiros e bocas,
E tapam estes e estas cobram calafetos,
E os mais pardos lá vão quase nús, vão ao léu, gabirus,
E de tetas até à cintura há mulheres crepitantes,
Tão desnudas meneiam na dança o seu corpo dançante;

E eram os brancos da sombra nascidos do mar pelas naus,
Guiados pelos ventos do céu e pelo voo das aves;

E muito se espantam da nossa brancura entretanto,

E Viemos Nascidos do Mar (Live)

And very much astounded by our whiteness meanwhile,
And very much amazed to look at so clear eyes thus,
They felt my hands and arms and other parts, therefore,
Rubbed my skin with spit to see if it was finally,
A dye or if it was a skin so white,
Seeing thus that my body was white and the whiteness of then,
They were in ecstasy and very much amazed by everything in admiration;

And the whites of the shade were born of the sea by the ships,
Guided by the winds of the sky and by the flight of birds;

They hide their shame covered by canvas,
And were great and fat and dull and lean, the blacks,
By the airs they confuse backsides and mouths,
And cover these and these charge calafetes,
And the most brown ones go there almost naked, they go at random, vultures,
And from the tits to the waist there are crackling women,
So naked they sway their dancing body in the dance;

And the whites of the shade were born of the sea by the ships,
Guided by the winds of the sky and by the flight of birds;

And very much they are astonished by our whiteness meanwhile,
