Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Caravelas by Mariza from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cheguei a meio da vida já cansada
I reached the middle of my life already tired
De tanto caminhar já me perdi
After walking so much I got lost
De um estranho país que nunca vi
From a strange country I've never seen
Sou neste mundo imenso a exilada
I am an exile in this immense world
Se eu sempre fui assim este mar morto
If I was always like this this dead sea
Mar sem marés, sem vagas e sem porto
Sea without tides, without waves and without port
Onde velas de sonhos se rasgaram
Where sails of dreams were torn
Caravelas doiradas a bailar
Dancing golden caravels
Ai quem me dera as que eu deitei ao mar
Oh, I wish I had the ones I threw into the sea
As que eu lancei à vida e não voltaram
The ones I threw into life and didn't come back
As que eu lancei à vida e não voltaram
The ones I threw into life and didn't come back
Tanto tenho aprendido e não sei nada
I have learned so much and I know nothing
E as torres de marfim que construí
And the ivory towers I built
Em trágica loucura as destruí
In tragic madness I destroyed them
Por minhas próprias mãos de malfadada
By my own ill-fated hands
Se eu sempre fui assim este mar morto
If I was always like this this dead sea
Mar sem marés, sem vagas e sem porto
Sea without tides, without waves and without port
Onde velas de sonhos se rasgaram
Where sails of dreams were torn
Caravelas doiradas a bailar
Dancing golden caravels
Ai quem me dera as que eu deitei ao mar
Oh, I wish I had the ones I threw into the sea
As que eu lancei à vida e não voltaram
The ones I threw into life and didn't come back
As que eu lancei à vida e não voltaram
The ones I threw into life and didn't come back
Caravelas doiradas a bailar
Dancing golden caravels
Ai quem me dera as que eu deitei ao mar
Oh, I wish I had the ones I threw into the sea
As que eu lancei à vida e não voltaram
The ones I threw into life and didn't come back
As que eu lancei à vida e não voltaram
The ones I threw into life and didn't come back
