Mariza "Maria Lisboa" lyrics

Translation to:deenesfrplro

Maria Lisboa

É varina, usa chinela,Tem movimentos de gata,Na canastra (3), a caravela,No coração, a fragata.Em vez de corvos no xaile,Gaivotas vêm pousar.Quando o vento a leva ao baile,Baila no baile com o mar.É de conchas o vestido,Tem algas na cabeleira,E nas veias o latidoDo motor duma traineira.Vende sonhos e maresia,Tempestades apregoa (5).Seu nome próprio: Maria,Seu apelido: Lisboa.

Maria Lisboa

(she) is a varina (1), and wears chinela (2)

(she) moves like a cat

In the basket, (she carries) the caravel

in her heart, (she carries) the frigate

Instead of ravens on the shawl

sea-gulls came to lay down.

When the wind takes her to the ball

(she) dances at the ball with the see.

(her) dress is made of shells

(she) has seaweed on her hair

And in her veins, (has) the bark

of the engine of a traineira (4).

(she) sells dreams and the smell of the sea

(she) announces (5) storms

her first name: Maria

Her surname: Lisboa
