Sempre Que Lisboa Canta

Lisbon friendly city
that is my cradle
Teach me a song
of those you know how to sing

A simple song
One of those to enchant
For me to sing by the window
When my love passes by

Whenever Lisbon sings
I don't know if it sings
I don't know if it prays
Its voice with affection
Sings softly
Its sadness

Whenever Lisbon sings
it enchants us
Its beauty
Because when Lisbon sings
It sings fado
for sure

I want to punish you
For loving you so much
I want you to sing with me
The verses of the same fado

I want Lisbon to keep
So many fados that I sang
To sing to me later
The fados that I taught
