Lyrics & translation
Verse
Salt crust on the glass.
Crosta de sal no vidro.
The boy knocks on wood.
O garoto bate na madeira.
He brings a small note.
Ele traz um pequeno bilhete.
Hands shaking in the wind.
Mãos tremendo ao vento.
Chorus
Today is your day.
Hoje é o seu dia.
Happy name-day, Captain.
Feliz onomástico, Capitão.
Today is your day.
Hoje é o seu dia.
Happy name-day, Captain.
Feliz onomástico, Capitão.
Verse
Deep maps on the table.
Mapas das profundezas na mesa.
Blue ink on dry skin.
Tinta azul na pele seca.
The apprentice waits in silence.
O aprendiz espera em silêncio.
The sea stays very calm.
O mar continua muito calmo.

Today is your day.
Hoje é o seu dia.
Happy name-day, Captain.
Feliz onomástico, Capitão.
Today is your day.
Hoje é o seu dia.
Happy name-day, Captain.
Feliz onomástico, Capitão.
Verse
One smile for the lad.
Um sorriso para o rapaz.
Coins for his tired pocket.
Moedas para seu bolso cansado.
Ocean secrets can wait now.
Segredos do oceano podem esperar.
Family words found the ship.
Palavras da família acharam o navio.
Chorus
Today is your day.
Hoje é o seu dia.
Happy name-day, Captain.
Feliz onomástico, Capitão.
Today is your day.
Hoje é o seu dia.
Happy name-day, Captain.
Feliz onomástico, Capitão.
