Canoas Do Tejo Lyrics in English Carlos Do Carmo
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canoas Do Tejo by Carlos Do Carmo from Portuguese to English.
Canoa de vela erguida
Boat with its sail raised
Que vens do Cais da Ribeira
Coming from Cais da Ribeira
Gaivota, que andas perdida
Seagull, you're lost
Sem encontrar companheira
Not finding a mate
O vento sopra nas fragas
The wind blows on the cliffs
O Sol parece um morango
The sun looks like a strawberry
E o Tejo baila com as vagas
And the Tagus dances with the waves
A ensaiar um fandango
Practicing a fandango
Canoa
Boat
Conheces bem
You know well
Quando há norte pela proa
When there's a north wind at your bow
Quantas docas tem Lisboa
How many docks Lisbon's got
E as muralhas que ela tem
And the walls that guard her
Canoa
Boat
Por onde vais?
Where are you going?
Se algum barco te abalroa
If some boat rams you
Nunca mais voltas ao cais
You'll never come back to the pier
Nunca, nunca, nunca mais
Never, never, never again
Canoa de vela panda
Boat with a sagging sail
Que vens da boca da barra
Coming from the river mouth
E trazes na aragem branda
And you carry in the gentle breeze
Gemidos de uma guitarra
Moans from a guitar
Teu arrais prendeu a vela
Your skipper tied the sail
E se adormeceu, deixa-lo
And if he fell asleep, let him be
Agora muita cautela
Now be really careful
Não vá o mar acordá-lo
Hope the sea won't wake him
Canoa
Boat
Conheces bem
You know well
Quando há norte pela proa
When there's a north wind at your bow
Quantas docas tem Lisboa
How many docks Lisbon's got
E as muralhas que ela tem
And the walls that guard her
Canoa
Boat
Por onde vais?
Where are you going?
Se algum barco te abalroa
If some boat rams you
Nunca mais voltas ao cais
You'll never come back to the pier
Nunca, nunca, nunca mais
Never, never, never again
Canoa
Boat
Por onde vais?
Where are you going?
Se algum barco te abalroa
If some boat rams you
Nunca mais voltas ao cais
You'll never come back to the pier
Nunca, nunca, nunca mais
Never, never, never again
