Testo Fado Mãe (Fado-Mother)

My spring, my river,
your waters so pure and beautiful,
in your eyes the light
that is my window.
I wish I were the sea
to rock you
and send you to sleep.
Don't ever let your body grow cold,
shelter your breast in my arms;
don't let in the wind, the rain, the sorrow,
the solitude, immerse my heart
in your waters.

I wish I were the sea
to rock you
and send you to sleep!...
