Paroles et traduction Chico Buarque - Mar E Lua

Mar E Lua

Amaram o amor urgente
As bocas salgadas pela maresia
As costas lenhadas 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
Boiando 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

We loved the urgent love
Our mouths salty from the sea spray
Our backs lashed by the storm
In that city
Far from the sea
We loved the serene love
Of the night beaches
Raised our skirts
And glowed with happiness
In that city
That has no moonlight
We loved the forbidden love
Because today it's known
Everyone tells
That one walked around dizzy
Pregnant with the moon
And the other walked around naked
Eager for the sea
And they were becoming marked
Hearing laughter, feeling a chill
Looking at the river so full of moonlight
And that continues
Running to the sea
And they went down the rapids
Rolling on the bed
Swallowing water
Floating with the algae
Dragging leaves
Carrying flowers
And falling apart
And they became fish
Began to conch
Began to pebble
Began to sand
Silvery sand
With a full moon
And by the sea
