Translation of the song lyrics Maria Clara - Daniela Mercury

Maria Clara (original)

Ela cantou pro mar se acalmar
E acalmar o corpo dela
Ela chorou
Pra não vê-lo chorar agarrado à saia dela
Ele fez barraco na favela
Fez samba pra lhe alegrar
O que a fez mais bela
(O sorriso!)
O sorriso na janela
E o desejo de tudo mudar
A cor da casa, amarela
Mas tudo foi pelo ar
Tudo o que ninguém soube contar
A cama e o colo dela
E gritando assanhou o mar
E essas águas já não vão mais se acalmar
Por causa dela
Por causa dela…

Maria Clara (translation)

She sang for the sea to calm down
And calm down her body
She cried
So as not to see him cry clinging to her skirt
He built a shack in the favela
Made samba to cheer you up
What made her more beautiful
(The smile!)
The smile in the window
And the desire for everything to change
The color of the house, yellow
But it was all in the air
Everything nobody knew how to tell
The bed and her lap
And screaming stirred up the sea
And these waters will no longer calm down
Because of her
Because of her…
