PORTO (IN)SEGURO

AT THE HARBOUR ( Michael Dunford/ Betty Thatcher)

Out the daybreak to the sun

Seas are drifting glass

The tides were turning into the storm

Winds were moving fast

Women waiting at the harbour

Silent stand around

Weather storms another day

For men the sea had found

Fishermen were laying nets

The barrels spread the bait

The seagulls warningg echoed round

Winds that wouldn't wait

People gathered at the harbour

Waiting for the tide

Eyes are closed against the spray

And tears they cannot hide

Hulls were creaking crashing sails

Rains were slating down

The oilskins flapping, decks awash

Slanting turning round

Thunder roaring at the harbour

Women drawn in fear

Huddle up to wait the time

And pray the sky will clear

Howling winds and the raging waves

Cracked upon the boats

And torn from safety, torn from life

Men with little hope

Ghostly echoes at the harbour

Whispering of death

Women weeping holding hands

Of those they still have left

Chorus:

Shadows falling at the harbour

Women stand around

Weather storms another way

For men the sea have drowned

Saveiros (Nelson Motta)

Nem bem a noite terminou
Vão os saveiros para o mar
Levam no dia que amanhece
As mesmas esperanças
Do dia que passou
Quantos partiram de manhã
Quem sabe quantos vão voltar
Só quando o sol descansar
E se os ventos deixarem
Os barcos vão chegar
Quantas histórias pra contar
Em cada vela que aparece
Um canto de alegria
De quem venceu o mar
