Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lisboa Antiga by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Lisboa, velha cidade
Lisbon, old town
Cheia de encanto e beleza
Full of charm and beauty
Sempre a sorrir tão formosa
Always smiling so beautiful
E no vestir sempre airosa
And in dressing always airy
O branco véu da saudade
The White Veil of Longing
Cobre o teu rosto linda princesa
Cover your face pretty princess
Olhai, senhores, esta Lisboa d'outras eras
Look, gentlemen, this Lisbon of other eras
Dos cinco réis, das esperas e das toiradas reais
Of the five réis, the waits and the royal bullfights
Das festas, das seculares procissões
From parties, from secular processions
Dos populares pregões matinais que já não voltam mais
Of the popular morning trading sessions that never come back
Lisboa, velha cidade
