Amor a Coimbra

A moonbeam
Calm and beautiful night
A student singing
Under a window

I sing to you, Coimbra
With endless notes
As great as love
As great as the love
I have for you

You have the most beautiful light
Of Portugal
Corners of love
The Lapa and the Choupal
The Queen Santa blessed you
Every poet, every poet
Has always sung to you

Beautiful is the Mondego
That listens to our voice
And goes peacefully
Far away to the mouth

In the waters go notes
Of a suffering fado
Every heart, every heart
Sings its destiny

A moonbeam
