Full lyrics
Menina moça, você é um tesouro
Libra esterlina, um diamante folheado a ouro
Você é tudo tudo tudo tudo que a vida me deu
É preciso viver pra aprender a perder
Menina moça, a razão do meu viver
Maremoto e tempestade
Que surge no alto mar
Fim de tarde a maré cheia
O vento forte a balançar
Soltando sem compromisso
Pelas praias a flutuar
Sei la, sei lá
No berço do mar tem areia
No limo do lodo nasceu flor
Quem ama sem compromisso
E nunca sofreu por amor
Translation
Young lady, you are a treasure
Pound sterling, a gold-plated diamond
You are everything everything everything everything that life gave me
One must live to learn to lose
Young lady, the reason for my living
Tsunami and storm
That appears on the high seas
Late afternoon, the high tide
The strong wind swaying
Letting go without commitment
Floating along the beaches
I don't know, I don't know
In the cradle of the sea there is sand
In the slime of the mud, a flower was born
Who loves without commitment
And never suffered for love
