Coimbra Lyrics in English Amália Rodrigues
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coimbra by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
Coimbra é uma lição
Coimbra is a lesson
De sonho e tradição
Of dreams and tradition
O lente é uma canção
The lens is a song
E a lua a faculdade
And the moon the college
O livro é uma mulher
The book is a woman
Só passa quem souber
Only those who know will pass
E aprende-se a dizer saudade
And you learn to say I miss you
Coimbra do choupal
Coimbra do choupal
Ainda és capital
You are still capital
Do amor em Portugal, ainda
Of love in Portugal, still
Coimbra onde uma vez
Coimbra where once
Com lágrimas se fez
With tears it was done
A história dessa Inês tão linda
The story of this beautiful Inês
Coimbra das canções
Coimbra of songs
Coimbra que nos põe
Coimbra that puts us
Os nossos corações, à luz
Our hearts, in the light
Coimbra dos doutores
Coimbra of doctors
Pra nós os seus cantores
For us your singers
A fonte dos amores és tu
The source of love is you
Coimbra é uma lição
Coimbra is a lesson
De sonho e tradição
Of dreams and tradition
O lente é uma canção
The lens is a song
E a lua a faculdade
And the moon the college
O livro é uma mulher
The book is a woman
Só passa quem souber
Only those who know will pass
E aprende-se a dizer saudade
And you learn to say I miss you
O livro é uma mulher
The book is a woman
Só passa quem souber
Only those who know will pass
E aprende-se a dizer saudade
And you learn to say I miss you
