O cão late as ovelhas pastam Estou contando os barcos na baía The hound bays the sheep graze I'm counting the boats in the bay Enquanto flutuam, parecem dizer: Estou contando as ondas, estou contando as ondas As they float they seem to say: I'm counting the waves, I'm counting the waves Os homens nos barcos acenam para suas esposas e dizem The men in the boats they wave to their wives and say Estou contando as horas, contando as horas, contando as horas do dia I'm counting the hours, counting the hours, counting the hours in the day
Estou contando as gaivotas que pousam nas ondas Cercando os barcos na baía I'm counting the gulls that sit on the waves Surrounding the boats in the bay Estou contando as milhas até chegarmos lá Onde o Sol, a chuva e a neve I'm counting the miles till we're there Where the Sun and the rain and the snow Caia sobre as sementes e faça-as crescer Fall on the seeds and make them grow Caia nas pedras e faça com que elas se quebrem em pedras e areia Fall on the rocks and make them crack into pebbles and into sand É onde eu gosto de ficar Which is where I like to stand
