Translation of the song lyrics Ao longe o mar - Madredeus

Ao longe o mar (original)

Porto calmo de abrigo
De um futuro maior
Porventura perdido
No presente temor
No faz muito sentido
No esperar o melhor
Vem da nvoa saindo
A promessa anterior
Quando avistei ao longe o mar
Ali fiquei
Parado a olhar
Sim, eu canto a vontade
Canto o teu despertar
E abraando a saudade
Canto o tempo a passar
Quando avistei ao longe o mar
Ali fiquei
Parao a olhar
Quando avistei ao longe o mar
Sem querer deixei-me ali ficar

Ao longe o mar (translation)

Calm harbor of shelter
From a greater future
perhaps lost
In the present fear
It doesn't make much sense
Don't expect the best
Comes from the fog coming out
The previous promise
When I saw the sea in the distance
There I stayed
stopped to look
Yes, I sing at will
I sing your awakening
And embracing longing
I sing the time to pass
When I saw the sea in the distance
There I stayed
stop to look
When I saw the sea in the distance
I accidentally left myself there
