A Barca (Tu Te Abeiraste da Praia)
Astúlio Nunes
The Boat (You Approached the Shore)
You approached the shore
You did not seek the wise, nor the rich
You only want me to follow You
Lord, You looked into my eyes
Smiling, You spoke my name
There on the shore I left my boat
With You, I will seek another sea
You know well that in my boat
I have no swords or gold
Only nets and my work
Lord, You looked into my eyes
Smiling, You spoke my name
There on the shore I left my boat
With You, I will seek another sea
You ask for my hands
My weariness, that others may rest
Love that desires to keep loving
Lord, You looked into my eyes
Smiling, You spoke my name
There on the shore I left my boat
With You, I will seek another sea
You, fisher of other lakes
Eternal longing for souls that wait
Kind friend, that's how You call me
Lord, You looked into my eyes
Smiling, You spoke my name
There on the shore I left my boat
With You, I will seek another sea
With You, I will seek another sea
With You, I will seek another sea
With You, I will seek another sea
