Marcha de Alcântara de 1969

My swaggering partner
Is a grumbler of mine
But in love
Is the best Alcântara has of its own
Alcântara sees the Tagus at its feet
That comes to the sea
And dances in the ebb and flow of the tides

To sing and laugh
There's nothing better for me
And note well
Happy is he who knows how to live like this
Come see so you can tell afterwards
How I am happy here with my partner

Alcântara goes with the song it proclaims
In the best march that Lisbon has
Let it pass
Yes, because Alcântara when it passes
Brings in its sweet and calm soul
The value of our grace

Alcântara goes with the song it proclaims
In the best march that Lisbon has
Let it pass
Yes, because Alcântara when it passes
Brings in its sweet and calm soul
Our grace!

Stop, look
For Alcântara is going to sing
Beautiful songs with a thousand balloons
To throw into the air
Come here to see
The audacious neighborhood
That seduces us
And filled with light the balloon it brings today

Alcântara, come! If you want to live and love
Don't say no
For the heart feels good singing
Come see the popular march
That makes my heart beat fast

Alcântara goes with the song it proclaims
In the best march that Lisbon has
Let it pass
Yes, because Alcântara when it passes
Brings in its sweet and calm soul
The value of our grace

Alcântara goes with the song it proclaims
In the best march that Lisbon has
Let it pass
Yes, because Alcântara when it passes
Brings in its sweet and calm soul
The value of our grace

Alcântara goes with the song it proclaims
In the best march that Lisbon has
Let it pass
Yes, because Alcântara when it passes
Brings in its sweet and calm soul
The value of our grace
