Clara

Quando a manhã madrugava
Calma, alta, clara
Clara morria de amor
Faca de ponta
Flor e flor
Cambraia branca sob o sol
Cravina branca, amor
Cravina, amor
Cravina e sonha
A moça chamava Clara
Água
Alma
Lava…
Alva cambraia no sol
Galo cantando cor e cor
Pássaro preto dor e dor
O marinheiro amor
Distante amor
Que a moça sonha só
O marinnheiro sob o sol
Onde andará o meu amor
Onde andará o amor
No mar, amor
No mar sonha
Se ainda lembra o meu nome
Longe, longe
Onde, onde se vá numa onda no mar
Numa onda que quer me levar
Para o mar
De água clara, clara, clara, clara
Ouço meu bem me chamar
Faca de ponta
Dor e dor
Cravo vermelho no lençol
Cravo vermelho amor
Vermelho amor
Cravina e galos
E a moça chamada Clara, Clara, Clara, Clara
Alma tranquila de dor
 
Translation

Clara

Back in the dawning sun
Calm, high, clear
Clara was dying of love
Sharp knife
Flower and flower
White batiste under the sunlight
White dianthus, love
Dianthus, love
Dianthus, dreaming
The lady was called Clara
Water
Soul
Lava
Fair batiste in the sun
A rooster chanting color and color
Black bird, pain and pain
The sailor, love
Distant love
That the lady solely dreams of
The sailor under the sun
Where is my love
Where is love
In the sea, love
In the sea, dreaming
If you still remember my name
Faraway, faraway
Where, where you can go, carried away by the sea waves
By the sea waves who want to take me away
To the sea
Of clear water, clear, clear, clear
I hear my darling calling me
Sharp knife
Pain and pain
Crimson carnation over the bed sheets
Crimson carnation, love
Crimson love
Dianthus and roosters
And the lady called Clara, Clara, Clara, Clara
Calming soul of painful feelings
