Mar Azul

The sea, so calm, you let me go
You let me go to see my land
You let me go to save my Mother
Oh Sea

So calm, you let me go
You let me go to see my land
You let me go to save my Mother
Oh Sea

Blue sea, rise gently
Full moon, light my way
Bring me to my beloved land
São Vicente, my tiny island
Bring me to embrace my creator...

Blue sea, rise gently
Full moon, light my way
Bring me to my beloved land
São Vicente, my tiny island
Bring me to embrace my creator...

Oh sea, the years go by so fast
The sun rises, the moon sets
I am far away in a distant land
Oh Sea, oh sea

The years go by so fast
The sun rises, the moon sets
I am far away in a distant land
Oh Sea...

Blue sea, rise gently
Full moon, light my way
Bring me to my beloved land
São Vicente, my tiny island
Bring me to embrace my creator

Blue sea, rise gently
Full moon, light my way
Bring me to my beloved land
São Vicente, my tiny island
Bring me to embrace my creator...
