Sereia / De Repente Califórnia / Como uma Onda (Zen Surfismo) : traduction de Portugais vers Anglais
Clear as sunlight
Bright clearing
In this darkness
Beautiful as moonlight
Eastern star
In these southern seas
Blue clearing in the sky
In the landscape
Could it be magic, mirage, miracle
Could it be a mystery?
Silvering horizons
Rivers, springs shine
In a waterfall of light
In the mirror of these waters
I see the luminous face of love
The waves come and go
And go and are like time
Light of divine will
Would it be a mermaid or would it be just
Tropical delirium, fantasy
Or could it be a child's dream
Under the morning sun
Girl, I'm going to California
To live life on the waves
I'm going to be a movie star
My destiny is to be a star
The wind kisses my hair
The waves lick my legs
The sun embraces my body
My heart sings happily
And I turn around, jump the wall
I dive into the dark
I "jump" from the band
In my life nobody commands, no
I go beyond this dream
Life passes slowly
And we go
So suddenly that we don't feel
Miss what has already passed
Nothing that was will be
Again the way it once was
Everything passes, everything will always pass
Life comes in waves
Like the sea
In an endless coming and going
Everything you see is not
The same as what we saw a second ago
Everything changes all the time in the world
There's no point in running away
Nor lying to yourself now
There's so much life out there
Always here inside
Like a wave in the sea
Like a wave in the sea
Like a wave in the sea, like a wave in the
It would give me immense pleasure
If you now
With your voices sing
This very same song, saying
Nothing that was will be
Again the way it once was
Everything passes, everything will always pass
Life comes in waves
Like the sea
In an endless coming and going
Everything you see is not
The same as what we saw a second ago
Everything changes all the time in the world
There's no point in running away
Nor lying to yourself now
There's so much life out there
Always here inside
Like a wave in the sea
Like a wave in the sea
Like a wave in the sea
And nothing like a wave
After a wave
After another wave
After
