O mar fala de ti
Mafalda Arnauth
The Sea Speaks of You
I was born somewhere
Where you can see the sea
Weaving the horizon
And listening to the sea moan
I was born like running water
From the source
And I lived somewhere else
Where you can hear the sea
Crashing against the pier
But I lived, I don't know why
Like a boat at the mercy
Of the storms
I know the sea didn't choose me
I know the sea talks about you
But he knows it was me
That I took you to the sea when I saw you
I know the sea didn't choose me
I know the sea talks about you
But he knows it was me
Who lost it?
As soon as I lost you
I'm going to die somewhere
From where I can see
The wave that tempts me
Dying free and without haste
Like a river that returns
To the source
Maybe that's the place
Where I can affirm
That made me more human
When, by losing the footing
I felt that the soul is
An ocean
