lyrics

song:

oh my love is from the sea, from the sea, walks on sand
oh my love is from the sea, from the sea, walks on sand
earning for me shoes and nice socks
earning for me shoes and nice socks


telephone call:

you know that not long ago,
a company, well... not a company,
the Azorean fisherman, the local fisherman themselves,
made a protest (slash strike), with a company
that was facilitating the sale of fish
to other fisherman from Madeira.
They were fishing in the Azores territory
because here they weren't finding any,
and the local fisherman didn't have anywhere
to send their stuff, and because the company
was bigger and they made more money
that the ones from Madeira,
they were really struggling there.

So not even in the sea
we have a sustainable environment...


song:

oh I went to the bottom of the sea
for I was the wildest
oh I went to the bottom of the sea
for I was the wildest

and there came the sea to toss me on land
there came the sea to toss me on land
half dead half alive
there came the sea to toss me on land
half dead half alive


telephone call:

if there happens a catastrophe in Caniçal,
we're gonna starve for sure
or we'll start eating grass
we'll eat grass


song:

I crossed the long-one, the worst is the big-mouth
I crossed the long-one, the worst is the big-mouth
and you know well that the north sea brings our hands rashes
and you know well that the north sea brings our hands rashes


telephone call:

and I'm not even speaking about the quantity of fish,
or of sea bream that leave Madeira
man we, every day; Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
we send everyday three-thousand five-hundred,
four-thousand kilograms of fish here
[continental Portugal], of sea bream.

No, it's from those fish farms
the carnivorous sea bream,
I'm calling it carnivorous because,
as everybody knows, a lot of fish
in aquaculture, they start eating each other



song:

oh whoever finds me here singing will think I'm lighthearted
My heart is sadder that the ink one writes with

I will find another life
because the sea doesn't suit me
