Lady of the Sea ~ Portugal

And what a perfect segue to go from Marine Naturalist Training to this years Eurovision entry from Portugal? No one sings more passionately of love and tragedy and the sea than the Portuguese. So lets go back out to sea with Vania Fernades and Senhora do Mar/Lady of the Sea.

Portugal 2008 Eurovision

Vania Fernandes ~ Senhora do Mar

Lyrics English/Lady of the sea

Lady of the sea
Before you, I’m fallen
Who comes and takes half of life and peace
From this table, from this house, now lost?
Love, what’s happened with you?

Before you, my soul is empty
Who comes and takes what is mine?
Oh high sea, bring me
My endless love

Ah, black waters, waves of sorrow
They froze the fire in my eyes (Lady of the sea)
He’s not sailing anymore (He’s not sailing anymore)
And nobody sees you crying
Lady of the sea

Who comes and takes half of life and peace
From this table, from this house, now lost?
Love, what’s happened with you?

Ah, black waters, waves of sorrow
They froze the fire in my eyes (Lady of the sea)
Salty wounds, prayers in vane (Prayers in vane)
Let his heart (Let his heart)
Beat next to me (Beat next to me)

Ah, black waters, waves of sorrow
They froze the fire in my eyes (Lady of the sea)
He’s not sailing anymore (He’s not sailing anymore)
And nobody sees you crying (And nobody sees you crying)
Lady of the sea (Lady of the sea)
