Barco Negro De manhã, que medo, que me achasses feia! Acordei, tremendo, deitada n'areia Mas logo os teus olhos disseram que não, E o sol penetrou no meu coração.[Bis] Vi depois, numa rocha, uma cruz, E o teu barco negro dançava na luz Vi teu braço acenando, entre as velas já soltas Dizem as velhas da praia, que não voltas: São loucas! São loucas! Eu sei, meu amor, Que nem chegaste a partir, Pois tudo, em meu redor, Me diz qu'estás sempre comigo.[Bis] No vento que lança areia nos vidros; Na água que canta, no fogo mortiço; No calor do leito, nos bancos vazios; Dentro do meu peito, estás sempre comigo.

Black Boat Of morning, that fear, that you found me ugly! I woke up, tremendous, lying on the sand. But your eyes had soon said that not, and the sun penetrated in my heart.[Bis] And later, in a rock, a cross, and your black boat danced in light And your arm waving, between the untied candles already Says the old ones of the beach, that not returns: They are insane people! They are insane people! I know, my love, That nor you arrived to leave, Therefore everything, in my surroundings, I always say you and I are together.[Bis] In the wind that launches sand in glasses; In the water that sings, in the portal fire; In the heat of the stream bed, the empty banks; Inside of my chest, you are always with me.
