Saudade negra.
Mar escuro.
Meu amor...
Não volta mais.
The lamps are low in Lisbon rain,
the stones remember every name.
I walk where we were lost before,
your shadow waits beside the shore.
A candle burns behind the glass,
for all the nights that would not pass.
I hear the tide beneath my skin,
calling the ghost I buried in.
And every wave says what I know,
the heart lets go,
but not the soul.
Saudade negra, don’t let me go.
The sea remembers what I hid below.
Saudade negra, stay with me now.
Lisboa chora, but I don’t know how.
Meu amor, meu amor,
you are the door
I cannot close anymore.
There’s salt upon my lips tonight,
a bitter prayer, a broken light.
The moon is pale, the harbor cold,
and every silence feels too old.
I wore the black you used to love,
beneath the stars, beneath the fog.
But love became a distant bell,
that rings from somewhere under hell.
And every street repeats your name,
soft as regret,
sharp as flame.
Saudade negra, don’t let me go.
The sea remembers what I hid below.
Saudade negra, stay with me now.
Lisboa chora, but I don’t know how.
Meu amor, meu amor,
you are the door
I cannot close anymore.
Noite sem fim,
sing low for me.
Mar escuro,
bring back the dream.
Não volta mais,
I know, I know.
But still I wait
where black tides go.
Saudade negra, don’t let me go.
The sea remembers what I hid below.
Saudade negra, stay with me now.
Lisboa chora, but I don’t know how.
Meu amor, meu amor,
you are the door
I cannot close anymore.
Saudade negra.
Mar escuro.
Lisboa chora.
Meu amor.
