Lisboa menina e moça [English translation]

In the castle I place an elbow

On Alfama I ease a glance

And so I untie the knot

Of blue and sea

At Ribeira I lay my head

Pillow for the bed of the Tagus

With embroidered sheets in a rush

Of a kiss on the white linen

Lisbon girl and gal... girl

By the light that my eyes are ... so pure

Your breasts are the hills ... fishwife

Your cry that brings me to the door ... tenderness

City of light ... embroidered

Towel along the shore ... stretching out

Lisboa girl and gal ... beloved

City woman of my life.

In Terreiro I pass you by

But in Graça I see you naked

When a pigeon looks at you, it smiles,

You are a woman of the street

And in the highest neigbourhood of the dream

I place a fado that I created

Brandy of life and medroneiro berries,

That makes me sing

Lisbon girl and gal... girl

Of the light that my eyes are ... so pure

Your breasts are the hills ... fishwife

Your cry that brings me to the door ... tenderness

City of light ... embroidered

Towel along the shore ... stretching out

Lisboa girl and gal ... beloved

City woman of my life.

Lisbon of my love ... lying down

City by my hands ... undressed

Lisboa girl and gal ... beloved

City woman of my life.
