Lá fora ao amanhecer Out at daybreak to the Sun Os mares são como vidro Seas are drifting glass As marés virando para a tempestade The tides were turning to the storm O vento soprava forte Winds were moving fast Mulheres esperando no porto Women waiting at the harbour Silêncio ao redor Silent stand around O tempo traz mais tempestades Weather storms another day Para os homens que o mar encontrou For men the sea had found
Os pescadores armam as redes Fishermen were laying nets Os barris espalham as iscas The barrels spread the bait O grito das gaivotas ecoavam The seagulls warning echoed round Ventos impacientes Winds that wouldn't wait Pessoas reunidas no porto People gathered at the harbour Aguardando a maré Waiting for the tide Olhos semi-fechados contra os respingos Eyes half closed against the spray E lágrimas que eles não conseguem conter And tears they cannot hide
A escuridão cai sobre o porto Shadows falling at the harbour Mulheres permanecem por perto Women stand around O tempo traz mais tempestades Weather storms another way Para os homens que o mar afogou For men the sea have drowned
Cascos rangem, velas se partem Hulls were creaking crashing sails A chuva caía forte Rains were slating down Oleados batendo, convés inundados The oilskins flapping, decks awash Fazem o barco se inclinar Slanting turning round Trovoadas sobre o porto Thunder roaring at the harbour Mulheres paralisadas de medo Women drawn in fear Juntas esperando a hora Huddle up to wait the time E orando para que o céu clareie And pray the sky will clear
Os ventos uivantes e as ondas furiosas Howling winds and the raging waves Batendo nos barcos Cracked upon the boats E sem segurança, apartados da vida And torn from safety, torn from life Homens sem esperança Men with little hope Ecos fantasmagóricos no porto Ghostly echoes at the harbour Sussurros de morte Whispering of death Mulheres chorando de mãos dadas Women weeping holding hands Por aqueles que sobreviveram Of those they still have left
A escuridão cai sobre o porto Shadows falling at the harbour Mulheres permanecem por perto Women stand around O tempo traz mais tempestades Weather storms another way Para os homens que o mar afogou For men the sea have drowned
