Mermaid of the asphalt1
Queen of the moonlight
Entrust your body only to one who truly knows how to take care of it2
And wherever there is ocean, wherever you love3
Let it overflow
Bathe in the saltwater
And take me along
Freely, love me, fight me
But don't forget,
Lift up your head
No matter what happens
You have to happen
Keep navigating4
Keep navigating
Keep transporting yourself5
Keep crossing through
1. The title and first words of the song, "Serei A", are a play on words. "Sereia" means 'mermaid', and "serei a" means, more or less, "I will be her" (literally: 'serei', I will be, 'a', feminine definite object). So that first line means both "Mermaid of the asphalt" and "I will be her, the one of the asphalt".2. The phrasing in Portuguese has a little more depth... "Entrega" means 'entrust, give over, devote/give all of', and "quem possa carregar" means something like 'someone who can handle it', someone who is up to the task. So it means only share your love and body with someone who will treat you the right way, don't settle for less.3. Another play on words. "Onde há mar" means "Wherever there is ocean", and sounds exactly like "Onde amar", meaning "Wherever/whenever you love".4. "Navegar", translated here as "navigate", more often means 'to sail' or 'to pilot'. In reading this line, think of making your way through a wide-open, seemingly boundless place, like the ocean or sky.5. Not the literal translation, I had to get a little more creative here-- I couldn't find 'travecar' in a dictionary and I'm pretty sure it's an invented word using the term "tr*vec*", which is a very offensive and pejorative way of referring to travestis/transfeminine people. But here Linn is trying to turn it into a term for empowerment, being yourself in the world (or at least that's how I interpret it!).
