At the Castle I rest my elbow
In Alfama I rest my eyes
And so I unravel the skein of blue and sea
By Ribeira I lay my head
Pillow on the Tagus's bed
With sheets hurriedly embroidered
Lisbon, girl and young lady, girl
Of the light my eyes see so pure
Your breasts are the hills, varina
Street cry that brings tenderness to my door
City embroidered in point of light
Towel spread out by the sea
Lisbon beloved girl and young lady
City woman of my life
At Terreiro I pass by you
But in Graça I see you naked
When a pigeon looks at you, it smiles
You're a woman of the street
And in the highest quarter of dreams
I lay a fado I knew how to invent
Brandy of life and medronho
Lisbon, girl and young lady, girl
Of the light my eyes see so pure
Your breasts are the hills, varina
Street cry that brings tenderness to my door
City embroidered in point of light
Towel spread out by the sea
Lisbon beloved girl and young lady
City woman of my life
Lisbon lying in my love
City undressed by my hands
Lisbon beloved girl and young lady
City woman of our life
