Song authored by Frederico de Brito and Ferrer Trindade

I was dancing on my little boat
There on the cruel sea
And the sea was crying out to me
Telling me that I stole
The incomparable light
Of your beautiful eyes
Come and prove that the sea is right
Come here and see my heart dancing
If I’II go dancing on my little boat
I won’t go to the cruel sea
I’II tell her that I was singing, smiling, dancing, living and dreaming of you.


The original version of "Canção do Mar" was performed by Amália Rodrigues in 1955. The song would later be recorded by Valentina Félix on her album of the same name, and by Dulce Pontes for the 1996 movie Primal Fear, starring Richard Gere. There are at least six more versions of "Canção do Mar": Sarah Brightman ("Harem", 2003), "Oye Mar" by Chayanne, and a second version by Chenoa, "Elle tu l'aimes" by Hélène Ségara, "Das Ja Zum Leben" by Milva, "Ftes esi" by Mando, and "Bargard Be Man" by Shani Rigsbee.
