“The Mermaid” Sereia do Mar Songtext
von Chicago

I was at sea
And on my own, sailing so free
I was alone, lost in my thoughts
And melodies suddenly thrown
And helplessly blown

Windy the storm
So quick it came, wild and warm
I felt the rain as I was swept
Across the waves, I saw your face
Such beautiful grace

Stories of old
And sailor song′s often have told
Of lovely ladies who dwell the sea
They sing of love as sweet as can be
But never speak
They love men who sail the sea
In their hearts they know love never can be


Adrift and afraid
What hope I had beginning to fade
And looking back, then I was saved
A miracle as a mermaid
Sang her serenade

All through the night
Until the dawn, she held me tight
The clouds had gone, she led the way
We headed on, tears in our eyes
We said our goodbyes

Sailing the sea
Sailing so free
La da da, da da da
Ba ba da, da da da
They know love never can be
After this night

(Sereia)
(Serei-ei-ei-ei)
(Sereia do mar)
(Sereia)
(Serei-ei-ei-ei)
(Sereia do mar)
