Roda roda coração
Roda sempre sem parar
A navegar na minha mão
Como um barquinho no mar

Que seja de noite ou de dia
Vou caminhando
Pelas ondas
Do mar bravo
Como na vida
Andamos sem saber
Onde nos leva
O nosso fado

De mardugada
Eu vejo o sol
Quero voar
Junto a ti
Na tua mão
E andar

Como as nuvens
Andam no céu

E à noitinha
Vejo as estrelas
Quero dançar
Contigo
Junto ao meu lado
Apagar as penas
Esquecidas
No fundo do mar

TRADUCTION

Tourne, tourne coeur

Tourne toujours sans t'arrêter
En naviguant dans ma main
comme un bateau sur la mer

Qu'il fasse jour ou nuit
Je suis mon chemin
Sur les vagues
De la mer agitée
Comme dans la vie
Nous marchons sans savoir
Où nous mène
Notre fado (destin)

A l'aube
Je vois le soleil
Je veux voler
Près de toi
Dans ta main
Et passer
Comme les nuages
Passent dans le ciel

Et dans la nuit
Je vois les étoiles
Je veux danser
Avec toi
A mes côtés
Effacer les peines

The legend of the marvellous
Journeys and heroic deeds
The many adventures
Of Prince Bova

The mighty Bogatyr
Begins with the tale of his insidious mother

Militrisa Kirtiervna
Plotted the death
Of her husband
Tsar Guidon
So she could marry her secret lover Tsar Dadon

But when Dadon threw
Bova into a dungeon
Militrisa’s maternal heart
Was deeply touched

The mighty Bogatyr
And so she helped Bova to escape

His two great powers:
Unparalleled strength
And unearthly beauty
Enabled him
To defeat the forces of evil and find his true love:
Druzhevna Zenzeveyvna

He then married her
And he too became a Tsar
They had a son
Whom they also called Bova

The mighty Bogatyr
Ends with the tale of his handsome boy

Bova the elder
When his son grew up
Returned home
Craving for revenge
He beheaded Dadon and his son was crowned Tsar in his place
