Paroles et traduction Ivan Lins - Joana dos barcos

Joana dos barcos

Joana sonhou
Com os homens do mar a seus pés
Joana casou
Com as noites, manhãs e marés

Joana nasceu
Crescida nas rodas do cais
Tocada por velas e véus
Guardada e velada demais

Mas Joana não quer
Nos sonhos, Joana é mulher
Se vendo nos barcos
Nos braços dos homens do mar

Joana sonhou
Com os homens do mar a seus pés
Joana casou
Com as noites, manhãs e marés

Todas manhãs
Os homens, por vício ou fé
Passavam e tiravam o chapéu
Pra santa caída do céu

Mas Joana não quer
Por dentro Joana é mulher
Se vendo nos barcos
Nos braços dos homens do mar

Joan of the Boats

Joan, she dreamed
Of sailors devout at her feet
Joan was a bride
To nights, dawns, and sea

Joan, she was born
Rooted on seaside streets
Swayed by sails and veils
Guarded and veiled much too

But Joan defies
In dreams she's a woman alive
She sees herself on ships
Within arms of the mariners

Joan, she dreamed
Of sailors devout at her feet
Joan was a bride
To nights, dawns, and sea

Each morning
Men, by habit or faith
Would pass and tip their hats
To the lady fallen from heaven

But Joan denies
Inside, she's a woman alive
She sees herself on ships
Within arms of the mariners
