Lisboa Rainha Do Mar

Lady of the Sea
of the world and life
city like no other
was ancient Lisbon

I see the white mantle
of its houses
and I see the thousand sails
of the boats on the river

Still don't know
if the reign lasted
but at one time the Lady
was called Queen

Queen of the sea
that the sea took
and what remains
of ancient Lisbon
I still don't know

I see this city
frozen in time
must be longing
the view I imagine

Lisbon remembers
that moment
when it was Lady
and Queen of the sea
taken by the wind
