Maria do Mar [English translation]

Every day, Maria

Looked at the sea through the window

Maria was of the sea

But the sea was not of her

And to live on an island

Planted in the middle of the blue

Maria, as well as her name

Had the sea as an address

Maria, Maria of the sea

If the wind returns

Let your hair out

Go see the boats leave

The day will come

When one will come to stay

And will sail only in your name

She knows how to predict the storms

She knows the tides

And the fish which, very early,

Come to kiss her feet

Maria, Maria of the sea

If the wind returns

Let your hair out

Go see the boats leave

The day will come

When one will come to stay

And will sail only in your name

Hooo-oooh-oooh-oooh

Hooo-oooh-oooh-oooh

Hooo-oooh-oooh-oooh

Hooo

Hooo-oooh-oooh-oooh

Hooo-oooh-oooh-oooh

Hooo-oooh-oooh-oooh

Hooo-oooh-oooh-oooh

Maria, Maria of the sea

If the wind returns

Let your hair out

Go see the boats leave

The day will come

When one will come to stay

And will sail only in your name
