Cesaria Evora Feat. Kayah - Embarcacao

The Vessel

Oh, in this world here there is only suffering
But in that stare full of sadness
For believing so soon in happiness
Something that is drowning in deep loneliness

But in the vessel that takes our lives
We hope for a good helmsman to take us
Through the storm and pull down our sails
So we will not be lost in the deepness of a sorrow

The desired land seen so far is a sweet promise
But it is not making no difference
Because a dream is born in the port of illusions
Fly away to a far place seems to be a solution

But in the uncertain route that is our fate
We are putting our hopes on a sweet and constant breeze

That blows the sails of our existence
And so in peace takes our vessel
Towards a horizon full of light and peaceful feelings

That blows the sails of our existence
And so in peace takes our vessel
Towards a horizon full of light and peaceful feelings
