Navegante (Portuguese) Navegante(English)
Ceu, estrelas e mar Sky, stars and sea
O meu canto na luz do luar My song by the light of the moon
Ceu e mundo a girar The sky and the world turns
Navegante, me entrego ao mar Navigator, I give myself to the ocean
Eu vou viajar no horizonte sem fim I will travel over the horizon
Procurar la no fundo de mim Searching deep within me

Sinto a forca do mar I feel the strength of the sea
Sinto a forca da vida e mim I feel the life-force within me
