Embarcação (part. Kayah)

Cesária Évora Cesária Évora

Vessel (feat. Kayah)

Oh, in this world there's only suffering
But in that gaze full of sorrow
How can one believe so early in happiness?
When you're burning in loneliness

But on the vessel
That carries our lives
A good helmsman
We wish to guide us
Through the storm
We raise the sails
So we don't get lost in the depths
Of bitterness

Land far in sight
Is a sweet promise
But here indifference breaks it apart
A dream is born in the harbor of illusion
Running far away seems like a solution

But on the uncertain path of our fate
We put hope in a gentle and steady breeze

Raise the sails of our existence
And in peace, carry us, our ship
To a horizon of light and calm

Raise the sails of our existence
And in peace, carry us, our ship
To a horizon of light and calm
