Translation of the song Enquanto Penso Nela artist Zélia Duncan

Observo o sol por detrás da serra

I watch the sun rising behind the hill

E daquela singela capela

And that single chapel

Bem da janela da sala de espera

Right from the window of the hall

Desta bela tarde lilás amarela

Of this beautiful lilac yellowish afternoon

Enquanto eu penso nela

While thinking about her

Observo o mar marejar a terra

I see the sea wetting the ground

Escaravelhos velhas caravelas

Beetles and old ships

Sou sentinela de um barco a vela

I'm a sentinel of a sailing boat

Nesta bela tarde lilás amarela

In this beautiful lilac yellowish afternoon

Enquanto penso nela

While thinking about her
