Translation of the song lyrics Peixinhos Do Mar - Milton Nascimento, Tavinho Moura

Peixinhos Do Mar (original)

Gente que vem de Lisboa
Gente que vem pelo mar
Laço de fita amarela
Na ponta da vela
No meio do mar
Ei nós, que viemos
De outras terras, de outro mar
Temos pólvora, chumbo e bala
Nós queremos é guerrear
Quem me ensinou a nadar
Quem me ensinou a nadar
Foi, foi marinheiro
Foi os peixinhos do mar
Ei nós, que viemos
De outras terras, de outro mar
Temos pólvora, chumbo e bala
Nós queremos é guerrear

Peixinhos Do Mar (translation)

People who come from Lisbon
People who come by the sea
Yellow ribbon bow
At the tip of the candle
In the middle of the sea
Hey we who came
From other lands, from another sea
We have gunpowder, lead and bullet
we want to fight
Who taught me to swim
Who taught me to swim
It was, it was a sailor
It was the sea fish
Hey we who came
From other lands, from another sea
We have gunpowder, lead and bullet
we want to fight
