Translation of the song lyrics O Velho Homem do Mar - Roberto Carlos

O Velho Homem do Mar (original)

preste muita atencao para a história que eu vou contar
oucam bem esta cancao
a cancao do homem que viveu no mar, no mar
de manha já bem cedinho
ia com seu barco para o alto mar
com a noite ele chegava sem ninguém sequer saber por onde andou, no mar
nao falava com ninguém
quieto ele estava sempre a pensar
todos dizem que talvez procurasse alguém
que ele perdeu no mar, no mar
mas um dia de manha
o velho todos viram no seu barco entrar
mas seu barco nao voltou
todos se juntaram para olhar o mar, o mar
desse dia em diante
em lugar algum ele apareceu
procuraram sem cessar
mas o velho todos acham que morreu no mar
há quem diga ainda mais
que por muitos anos muita gente viu
certo barco a vagar
na oscuridao do solitário mar
no mar, no mar, no mar, no mar…

O Velho Homem do Mar (translation)

pay close attention to the story I'm going to tell
listen well to this song
the song of the man who lived at sea, in the sea
early in the morning
went with his boat to the high seas
with the night he arrived without anyone even knowing where he had been, in the sea
no he spoke to anyone
quiet he was always thinking
everyone says he maybe he was looking for someone
that he lost at sea, at sea
but one morning
the old man all saw his boat enter
but your boat did not return
everyone got together to look at the sea, the sea
from that day forward
nowhere did he appear
searched without ceasing
but the old man all think he died at sea
there are those who say even more
that for many years many people saw
certain boat to wander
in the darkness of the lonely sea
at sea, at sea, at sea, at sea…
