Fado do Montijo

From a Portuguese village
Of cheerful and carefree people
The princess village was born
Among the villages by the water
It grew and became a woman
That riverside village
No longer a princess
But now a queen
It grew and became a woman
That riverside village
No longer a princess
But now a queen

Aldeia Galega of yesteryear
Of bullfights and bull runs
Of fado and guitar playing
You are Montijo today
Princess village, work is your emblem
And the people are truly Portuguese
As tradition dictates
Princess village, work is your emblem
And the people are truly Portuguese
As tradition dictates

There were born great forcados
Strong herders, bullfighters
Also renowned ones
And brave horsemen
In many glorious afternoons
The sun shining in the square
They achieved another victory
And added more glory to their breed
In many glorious afternoons
The sun shining in the square
They achieved another victory
And added more glory to their breed

Princess village, work is your emblem
And the people are truly Portuguese
As tradition dictates
Princess village, work is your emblem
And the people are truly Portuguese
As tradition dictates
