Adeus Paris
Dino Meira
Goodbye Paris
From Paris to Lisbon
The Portuguese immigrant
Keeps telling his wife I'm happier every time
Here we are again
If it was possible to live here, if it was possible to stay
Oh if I knew, oh if I knew
I would stay in my country
If life improved here
Oh if I knew, oh if I knew
I wouldn't go back to Paris
Oh, how I miss the parties and festivals
His friends that he once left here
Because out there friendships are strange
There are very few joys, for someone who worked so hard
You go back there, you come back here
And you're always in this to see what it gives
We dance the 'bailinho', 'corridinho' and 'malhão'
At least that to cheer the heart
From Paris to Lisbon
The Portuguese immigrant
Keeps telling his wife every time
I'm happier, here we are again
If it was possible to live here, if it was possible to stay
Oh if I knew, oh if I knew
I would stay in my country
If life improved here
Oh if I knew, oh if I knew
I wouldn't go back to Paris
Oh, how I miss a 'cozido à Portuguesa'
A pork chop on the table, 'caldo verde' steaming
Because out there, being cold, being windy
At night brings thoughts, missing your place
You come back here, you go back there
And you're always in this to see what it gives
We dance the 'bailinho', 'corridinho' and 'malhão'
At least that to cheer the heart
From Paris to Lisbon
The Portuguese immigrant
Keeps telling his wife every time
I'm happier, here we are again
If it was possible to live here, if it was possible to stay
Oh if I knew, oh if I knew
I would stay in my country
If life improved here
Oh if I knew, oh if I knew
I wouldn't go back to Paris
From Paris to Lisbon
The Portuguese immigrant
Keeps telling his wife I'm happier every time
Here we are again
If it was possible to live here, if it was possible to stay
Oh if I knew, oh if I knew
I would stay in my country
If life improved here
Oh if I knew, oh if I knew
