Lyrics of Clara - Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso

Clara (original)

Quando a manhã madrugava
Calma, alta, clara
Clara morria de amor
Faca de ponta
Flor e flor
Cambraia branca sob o sol
Cravina branca, amor
Cravina, amor
Cravina e sonha
A moça chamava Clara
Água
Alma
Lava…
Alva cambraia no sol
Galo cantando cor e cor
Pássaro preto dor e dor
O marinheiro amor
Distante amor
Que a moça sonha só
O marinnheiro sob o sol
Onde andará o meu amor
Onde andará o amor
No mar, amor
No mar sonha
Se ainda lembra o meu nome
Longe, longe
Onde, onde se vá numa onda no mar
Numa onda que quer me levar
Para o mar
De água clara, clara, clara, clara
Ouço meu bem me chamar
Faca de ponta
Dor e dor
Cravo vermelho no lençol
Cravo vermelho amor
Vermelho amor
Cravina e galos
E a moça chamada Clara, Clara, Clara, Clara
Alma tranquila de dor

(translation)

When the morning dawned
calm, high, clear
Clara would die of love
cutting edge knife
flower and flower
White Cambraia under the sun
white cravine, love
cravina, love
Cravina and dream
The girl called Clara
Water
Soul
Lava…
Alva Cambraia in the sun
Rooster singing color and color
Black bird pain and pain
The sailor love
distant love
That the girl only dreams
The sailor under the sun
Where will my love go
Where will love go
At sea, love
At sea dreams
If you still remember my name
Far far
Where, where to go on a wave at sea
On a wave that wants to take me
To the sea
Of clear, clear, clear, clear water
I hear my baby call me
cutting edge knife
Pain and pain
Red carnation on the sheet
red carnation love
red love
Cravina and roosters
And the girl named Clara, Clara, Clara, Clara
Peaceful soul of pain
