作曲 : Mouráo-Ferreira, Oulman
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)

In the basket, (she carries) the caravel

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
Her surname: Lisboa
