Já Foste Linda, Rosa!
Fausto Bordalo Dias
You Used to Be Beautiful, Rose!
Hello rose how are you
Long time no see
From Alfama to the olive groves
Give me a hug and a kiss
(Hello rose how are you)
With a controlled step
And a distracted gesture
You buy by ear
A 'burger' that tastes like fish
A pudding with spinach
And the chorizo with more things
When the sewage reaches the dock
It makes you suddenly nauseous
There are sick people around
Hello rose how are you
Your eyes are consumed
In a highway billboard
And your lips taste like orangeade
Your lips traveled
By acids and anhydrides
From the surplus products
Who made you desire this
In canned and frozen
Oh rose you have the evil eye
Long time no see
You used to be beautiful rose
Now you're not anymore
From head to toe
You have a strange symbiosis
Of bitterness and glucose
Skyscrapers of capitals
The festivities are ending
The taverns are closed
I only see supermarkets
From Alfama to the olive groves
Sing a cute song
Not edited on cassette
Not from that annoying Fausto
Pappeti
Make a pretty face
You are my favorite
That's why I'm going to you
With a burning heart
But don't give me cheese paste
Or canned soups
Or frozen fish
Give me a hug and a kiss
