Portuguesa Bonita
José Cid
Beautiful Portuguese Girl
Born in the South, she's more refined and darker
Loves fado, goes to see the bulls in the ring
But the ones from the center are the most vibrant
The sweet gaze, the smile of the girls
And the ones from the North are fairer, with white skin
They're very cheerful, very simple, very honest
Where are you going, beautiful Portuguese girl
Come back, listen to the song
And that cape with silver ribbons
It brings joy and steals my heart
And the smile that enchants me
Gives life and warms my dreams
The ones from Madeira are as lovely as flowers
And nature favors those from the Azores
But those who live far from their homeland
Have someone singing for them in Portugal
I have so much love for all of them, so much tenderness
On my path, there's always an adventure
Where are you going, beautiful Portuguese girl
Come back, listen to the song
And that cape with silver ribbons
It brings joy and steals my heart
And the smile that enchants me
Gives life and warms my dreams
It's the loves I've lived in my life
Another goodbye, another return, the farewell
I'm a wanderer, going from place to place
And I carry another dream, a fantasy
I've traveled the world, but I'm sure
That the sweetest is a Portuguese woman
Where are you going, beautiful Portuguese girl
Come back, listen to the song
And that cape with silver ribbons
It brings joy and steals my heart
And the smile that enchants me
Gives life and warms my dreams
Born in the South, she's more refined and darker
Loves fado, goes to see the bulls in the ring
But the ones from the center are the most vibrant
The sweet gaze, the smile of the girls
And the ones from the North are fairer, with white skin
They're very cheerful, very simple, very honest
Where are you going, beautiful Portuguese girl
Come back, listen to the song
And that cape with silver ribbons
It brings joy and steals my heart
And the smile that enchants me
Gives life and warms my dreams
Where are you going, beautiful Portuguese girl
Come back, listen to the song
And that cape with silver ribbons
It brings joy and steals my heart
And the smile that enchants me
Gives life and warms my dreams
