Sun of west
sunset
sleeping angers
horizon' sentry
diving seagulls
sails far away
believe me
the breeze justifies
clouds misleading distances.
If there will be moonlight
our shadow will wave
on the cold sea water.
poente
raivas adormecidas
sentinela do horizonte
gaivotas a mergulhar
velas ao longe
acredita
que a brisa justifica
nuvens que enganam distâncias.
Sobre a fria água do mar
nossa sombra ondulará
se na noite houver luar.
