Nas ondas da praia
Language: Portuguese (Português)
Nas ondas da praia
Nas ondas do mar
Quero ser feliz
Quero me afogar.
Nas ondas da praia
Quem vem me beijar?
Quero a estrela-d'alva
Rainha do mar.
Quero ser feliz
Nas ondas do mar
Quero esquecer tudo
Quero descansar.

In the waves of the beach
Language: English after the Portuguese (Português)
In the waves of the beach
In the waves of the sea
I want to be happy
I want to drown.
In the waves of the beach
Who goes to kiss me?
I want the evening star
Queen of the Sea.
I want to be happy
In the waves of the sea
I want to forget everything
I want to rest.
