Fado Das Tamanquinhas
Amália Rodrigues
Fado Of The Tamanquinhas
With songs and longing
This beautiful Lisbon lives!
It does craziness and mischief
But, deep down, pure and good
In its frivolities!
Little bourgeois in Chiado
In her courtyard, a seamstress
In the retreats, she sings fado
In the market, she haggles
And the Tejo is her lover
Turns songs into street cries
Likes the Sun and the Moon
Goes with faith in processions
Crazy in the street marches
She has jealousy and passions
Long live this beautiful Lisbon
Different from other cities
It's Bairro Azul, Madragoa
Flaws and qualities
Everything has this Lisbon
