Canto Moço (Filhos de Madrugada)

José Afonso José Afonso

Young Song (Children of Dawn)

We are children of the dawn
Along the beaches of the sea we go
In search of those who bring us
Olive green from flower branches
We sail from wave to wave
We knew no pain or sorrow
Along the beaches of the sea we go
In search of the clear morning

From up on a mountain
We light a fire
So the flame doesn't go out
That gives life throughout the night
Messenger dove called
Companion of the dawn
When the night comes, let it come
From up on a mountain

Where the wind cut ties
We'll set sail into the night
Where there's always a good star
Night and day at the break of dawn
Turn the bow of my ship
That victory no longer awaits
Fresh, breeze, enchanted moor
Turn the bow of my boat
