Paroles et traduction Cesária Évora - Rogamar

Rogamar

Quel barquin ta balancá
Na meio de baía
Na odisseia di cada dia
Proa ta bá, proa ta bem
Naquel mat olte

Tude gente ta guentá
Tude gente ta rogá Virgem Maria
Pegá, pegá Santa Barba
Rogá, rogá Virgem Maria
Pegá, pegá Santa Barba

Povo das ilhas
É um povo de marinher
Ma é sô pa viajá longe

Mode nôs mar é n′ê brincadera
El tem estória
Na sê glória

Mar d'sodade qu′ta sépará-no
Mar amigo qui ta uni-no
Mar qui ta levá-no
Mar qui ta trazê-no

Naquel barquim
Na momento d'quel onda grande
Tude gente ta pô ta creditá
Qu'mar é fête sô pa pêxe
Sô pa pêxe e pescador

Rogá, rogá Virgem Maria
Pegá, pegá Santa Barba
(Rogá, rogá Virgem Maria)
(Pegá, pegá Santa Barba)

Rogamar

What a boat you are swaying
In the middle of the bay
In the odyssey of every day
Bow goes, bow comes
On that high sea

All the people are holding on
All the people are praying to the Virgin Mary
Hold on, hold on Saint Barbara
Pray, pray to the Virgin Mary
Hold on, hold on Saint Barbara

People of the islands
Are a people of sailors
But it is only for traveling far

Because our sea is not a joke
It has a story
In its glory

Sea of longing that separates us
Friendly sea that unites us
Sea that takes us away
Sea that brings us back

On that boat
In the moment of that big wave
All the people will start to believe
That the sea is a party only for fish
Only for fish and fishermen

Pray, pray to the Virgin Mary
Hold on, hold on Saint Barbara
(Pray, pray to the Virgin Mary)
(Hold on, hold on Saint Barbara)
