Maria Lisboa Lyrics - Mariza

É varina, usa chinela, 

Tem movimentos de gata 

Na canastra, a caravela, 

No coração, a fragata 

Em vez de corvos no xaile 

Gaivotas vêm pousar 

Quando o vento a leva ao baile, 

Baila no baile com o mar 

É de conchas o vestido 

Tem algas na cabeleira 

E nas veias o latido 

Do motor duma traineira 

Vende sonho e maresia, 

Tempestades apregoa, 

Seu nome próprio - maria, 

Seu apelido - lisboa

Sprzedawczyni ryb, w klapkach 

w ruchach podobna do kota 

Kosz ryb jak karawela 

Ale w sercu fregata 

Zamiast kruków na welonie 

Mewy przybyły odpocząć 

Gdy wiatr zaprasza do tańca 

Tanczy go z morzem 

Z morskich muszli ma sukienkę 

I wodorosty we wosach 

A w jej żyłach warczy 

Silnik starego trawlera 

Sprzedaje sny i sól morską 

Ogłasza sztormy co idą 

Jej pierwsze imię Maria 

A na nazwisko Lisboa

(she) is a varina (1), and wears chinela (2) 

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 

sea-gulls 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 (4). 

(she) sells dreams and the smell of the sea 

(she) announces (5) storms 

her first name: Maria
