Rosa da Madragoa [English translation]

Rosa of Madragoa*

Fills her basket at the plaza

Rosa of Madragoa

Fills her basket at the plaza

She comes to the streets and shouts

Awaking half of Lisbon

Which smiles as she passes by

She comes to the streets and shouts

Awaking half of Lisbon

Which smiles as she passes by

She prances up the stairs

In a radiant glee

She prances up the stairs

In a radiant glee

Her garish skirt dances about her

The cross of life doesn't weigh her down

Her basket is a greater burden

Her garish skirt dances about her

The cross of life doesn't weigh her down

Her basket is a greater burden

In the shadows of street corners

Her voice can catch you off guard

In the shadows of street corners

Her voice can catch you off guard

The other fishlasses know

By her warbles when she's coming

Rosa, Rosa of Madragoa

The other fishlasses know

By her warbles when she's coming

Rosa, Rosa of Madragoa
