А varina, usa chinela,
Tem movimentos de gata;
Na canastra, a caravela,
No coracão, a fragata.

vez de corvos no chaile,
Gaivotas vem pousar.
Quando o vento a leva ao baile,
Baila no [bad word] o mar.

de conchas o vestido,
Tem algas na cabeleira,
nas veias o latido
Do motor duma traineira.

Vende sonho e maresia,
Tempestades apregoa.
Seu nome próprio: Maria,
Seu apelido: Lisboa.

Maria Lisboa

She is a varina, and wears chinela
She moves like a cat
In the basket, she carries the caravel
in her heart, she carries the frigate

Instead of ravens on the shawl
Seagulls came to lay down.
When the wind takes her to the ball
She dances at the ball with the see.

Her dress is made of shells
She has seaweed on her hair
And in her veins, has the bark
Of the engine of a traineira.

She sells dreams and the smell of the sea
She announces storms
Her first name: Maria
Her surname: Lisboa
