Lyrics:
Quando cantas eu canto por ti liberdade
Quando choras também choro por ti
Quando tremes eu rezo por ti liberdade
Na alegria ou na dôr eu te amo
Recordar os dias negros da tu a miséria
Meu país teus navios foram tuas galeras
Quando cantas eu canto por ti liberdade
Quando choras também choro por ti
Quando tremes eu rezo por ti liberdade
Na alegria ou na dôr eu te amo
Recordar os dias negros da tu a miséria
Meu país teus navios foram tuas galeras

i am not sure if this is correct it sounds very formal but what i understand is "my country, your fleet(ships) were your people"
songs like these are usually very hard to understand even for native speakers so don't feel bad if you don't understand a word or two

I didn't know what that word meant so I did a search here
I hope it helped you!
'Galeras' or 'Galés' :
"Ancient long and low-board navigation, powered by sail or oars, which served both the war and the merchant navy."

Hey! It has nothing to do with "galera" as people.
It’s a long and without cover WARSHIP. It’s was used by the ancient nations of the Mediterranean Sea.
Take care! 🍀 ✌🏻

@Raphhhhhh it’s not PEOPLE. I think It’s not thaaaat hard for Brazilians who reads a lot, but I got your point of view. ✌🏻

Sinceramente, não consigo entender o sentido de galera nessa frase.
Galera é uma embarcação, um navio antigo....
Infelizmente, não entendo. 😒

@GREENgreenBLUEblue I didn't know it was a song, after I saw that a guy put a snippet of the song at the top I found it, the singer is not Brazilian this snippet and just one of several other translated versions
the same snippet:
“Meu país teus navios foram tuas galeras.”
this part will be in {}
Quando você cantar Eu canto com a sua liberdade
Também chorar quando você chorar sua dor
Quando rezo tremer por sua liberdade
Na alegria ou choro Eu te amo,
Lembre-se dias sem poder de sua miséria
{A minha música por um tempo esqueci que você estava}
2
Quando você canta Eu canto com a sua Liberdade
Quando você chorar eu choro também a sua dor
Quando rezo por sua liberdade. E
ou chorando que eu te amo
sem luz de sua miséria canção
{Meu por um tempo esqueceu quem você era}
I don't know about the singer and her nationality but one thing I'm sure there are several other translations for this song.

@Luizinho_ muito obrigada.
If this lyrics is in português europeu?
(Lyrics:
Quando cantas eu canto por ti liberdade
Quando choras também choro por ti
Quando tremes eu rezo por ti liberdade
Na alegria ou na dôr eu te amo
Recordar os dias negros da tu a miséria
Meu país teus navios foram tuas galeras)

@GREENgreenBLUEblue acredito que ocorreu um equívoco na tradução desta frase da música. Seria “Libertad” de Nana Mouskouri, correto? Se sim, o trecho “ Meus país teus navios foram tuas galeras”, na verdade deveria ser “ meu país se esqueceu por um tempo quem era ( quem era refere-se à palavra liberdade)”. Bela música, por sinal.
Mas, voltando ao assunto galera, ela tem dois significados, pelo que conheço.
1. Navio de guerra ( também conhecido como galé).
2. Aglomerado de pessoas ( informal, e o quase sempre usado, pelo menos no português do Brasil). Seria o equivalente ao 大家.
Espero ter ajudado. Segue o trecho original
“Cuando cantas yo canto con tu libertad
Cuando lloras también lloro tu pena
Cuando tiemblas yo rezo por tu libertad
En la dicha o el llanto yo te amo
Recordar días sin luz de tu miseria
Mi canción olvidó por un tiempo quién eras
Cuando cantas yo canto con tu libertad”
