Lisboa Antiga
Amália Rodrigues
Old Lisbon
Lisbon, old city,
Full of charm and beauty!
Always smiling so beautiful,
And in dressing always graceful.
The white veil of longing
Covers your face, lovely princess!
Look, gentlemen, at this Lisbon of other times,
Of the five réis, the waits and the royal bullfights!
Of the parties, the centuries-old processions,
Of the popular morning cries that will never return!
