The Church of Saint Stephen
In the church of Saint Stephen
By the cross in the yard
There used to be guitar jams
In the church of Saint Stephen
By the cross in the yard
There used to be guitar jams
No brushes can describe
That magnificent scene
Of those nights well spent
No brushes can describe
That magnificent scene
Of those nights well spent
When the trinity would strike
The fado crowd would gather
In the yard of the holy church
When the trinity would strike
The fado crowd would gather
In the yard of the holy church
Fadistas, how I miss
The old camaraderie
That no one can see anymore
Fadistas, how I miss
The old camaraderie
That no one can see anymore
Saint Stephen, patron saint
Of this corner of Alfama
Perform a sacred miracle
Saint Stephen, patron saint
Of this corner of Alfama
Perform a sacred miracle
Let those famous fadistas
Return to your cross
Who know how to sing the fado
Let those famous fadistas
Return to your cross
Who know how to sing the fado
