Lisboa dos Manjericos
Amália Rodrigues
Lisbon of the Basil
Look, look at her
Carrying the world in a balloon
Oh Lisbon is always like that
Oh Lisbon is always like that
Maintaining tradition
Bringing St. Peter in a canoe
With Hope who is a fishmonger
Comes to remind the ships of Goa
Comes to remind the ships of Goa
From her childhood days
Oh, oh Lisbon
I have a kiss to give you
Come to the circle, bring a partner
Because tonight is one of ours
Oh, oh Lisbon
What a smell of basil
Must be in the dance
St. Anthony watching the girls
Oh, oh Lisbon
St. John in jest
The flame jumps from the bonfire
That your grandparents lit
Oh, oh Lisbon
Sing, sing, enchant me
For no one will have a voice
To silence your voice
Bringing in arches and balloons
Bouquets of songs
They are the verses of Camões
They are the verses of Camões
To teach the girls
No need to burn
Artichokes for anyone
She doesn't lack someone to love
She doesn't lack someone to love
Everyone loves her
