Januária Lyrics in English Chico Buarque

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Januária by Chico Buarque from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Toda gente homenageia
Everyone pays homage
Januária na janela
Januária in the window
Até o mar faz maré cheia
Even the sea is full tide
Pra chegar mais perto dela
To get closer to her
O pessoal desce na areia
People get down on the sand
E batuca por aquela
And drum for that one
Que malvada se penteia
How bad she combs her hair
E não escuta quem apela
And doesn't listen to those who appeal
Quem madruga sempre encontra
Those who rise early always find
Januária na janela
Januária in the window
Mesmo o sol quando desponta
Even the sun when it rises
Logo aponta os lábios dela
Then point to her lips
Ela faz que não dá conta
She pretends not to notice
De sua graça tão singela
Of your grace so simple
O pessoal se desaponta
People are disappointed
Vai pro mar, levanta vela
Go to sea, raise sail
Toda gente homenageia
Everyone pays homage
Januária na janela
Januária in the window
Até o mar faz maré cheia
Even the sea is full tide
Pra chegar mais perto dela
To get closer to her
O pessoal desce na areia
People get down on the sand
E batuca por aquela
And drum for that one
Que malvada se penteia
How bad she combs her hair
E não escuta quem apela
And doesn't listen to those who appeal
Quem madruga sempre encontra
Those who rise early always find
Januária na janela
Januária in the window
Mesmo o sol quando desponta
Even the sun when it rises
Logo aponta os lábios dela
Then point to her lips
Ela faz que não dá conta
She pretends not to notice
De sua graça tão singela
Of your grace so simple
O pessoal se desaponta
People are disappointed
Vai pro mar, levanta vela
Go to sea, raise sail
