Full lyrics
Nas galeras do meu pensamento
Naveguei e hoje vim te buscar
Minha voz vem em ondas no vento
E meu corpo num braço de mar
Nas galeras do meu pensamento
Naveguei e hoje vim te buscar
Minha voz vem em ondas no vento
E meu corpo num braço de mar
Na beira mar, o quebra-mar molhava a areia
No farol da Lua cheia, candeias
Na beira mar, o quebra-mar molhava a areia
No clarão da Lua cheia, candeias
E as janelas do apartamento
São de vidro pra se ver o mar
Se ela faz desse vidro um aquário
Com os peixes eu quero nadar
Nas galeras do meu pensamento
Nas galeras
Translation
In the galleys of my thought
I sailed and today I came to find you
My voice comes in waves on the wind
And my body in an arm of the sea
In the galleys of my thought
I sailed and today I came to find you
My voice comes in waves on the wind
And my body in an arm of the sea
On the seashore, the breakwater wet the sand
In the lighthouse of the full Moon, oil lamps
On the seashore, the breakwater wet the sand
In the glow of the full Moon, oil lamps
And the windows of the apartment
Are made of glass to see the sea
If she makes this glass an aquarium
I want to swim with the fish
In the galleys of my thought
In the galleys
