Paroles et traduction Maria Bethânia - Mar E Lua - Live

Mar E Lua - Live

Amaram o amor urgente
As bocas salgadas pela maresia
As costas lanhadas 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
Amaram o amor proibido, pois hoje é sabido
Todo mundo conta
Uma andava tonta, grávida de lua
E outra andava nua, ávida de mar

E foram ficando marcadas, ouvindo risadas
Sentindo arrepios
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

Mar E Lua - Live

They loved an urgent love
Their mouths salty from the sea spray
Their backs flayed by the storm
In that city far from the sea

They loved the serene love of night beaches
They would lift their skirts and become moonlit with happiness
In that city that has no moon
They loved forbidden love, because today it is known
Everyone tells
One was dizzy, pregnant with the moon
And the other was naked, eager for the sea

And they were increasingly noticed, hearing laughter
Feeling chills
Looking at the river, so full of moon
And that continues to flow towards the sea
And they were carried downstream
Rolling in the bed, swallowing water
Floating with the algae, dragging leaves
Carrying flowers and disintegrating
And they were becoming fish, becoming shells
Becoming pebbles, becoming sand, silvery sand
With a full moon
And at the seaside
