ON THE SHORES OF PORTUGAL by Eyal Golan


ON THE SHORES OF PORTUGAL English

I looked all my life for love
I was sailing a wandering ship
I crossed continents and sea

sand didn't find a loving woman
In a small port on the shores of Portugal
she waited in the lighthouse
The waves brought me luck and
I found a safe land with her

Chorus:

She will come back tonight
like a butterfly to the light -
I am like a guest there
Tonight it is important I know I have found love
She took me to the village alley
sand said: "we will live here for ever
You have sailed enough for me -
be a husband to me, not a guest"
For you my love I will sell the ship I'll build a lovers' lighthouse
Surrounded by gold walls
