Lisboa Cidade Abril Lyrics in English Carlos Do Carmo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lisboa Cidade Abril by Carlos Do Carmo from Portuguese to English.
Agarro a madrugada
I grab the dawn
Como se fosse uma criança
As if it were a child
Uma roseira entrelaçada
An intertwined rosebush
Uma videira de esperança
A vine of hope
Tal qual o corpo da cidade
Just like the body of the city
Que manhã cedo ensaia a dança
That early morning rehearses the dance
De quem por força da vontade
Of those who, by sheer will
De trabalhar nunca se cansa
Never tire of working
Vou pela rua dessa lua
I walk through the street of this moon
Que no meu Tejo acende o cio
That ignites desire in my Tagus
Vou por Lisboa, maré nua
I go through Lisbon, naked tide
Que desagua no Rossio
That flows into Rossio
Eu sou o homem na cidade
I am the man in the city
Que manhã cedo acorda e canta
Who wakes up early and sings
E por amar a liberdade
And for loving freedom
Com a cidade se levanta
Rises with the city
Vou pela estrada deslumbrada
I walk along the dazzled road
Da lua cheia de Lisboa
Of Lisbon's full moon
Até que a lua apaixonada
Until the passionate moon
Cresça na vela da canoa
Grows on the sail of the canoe
Sou a gaivota que derrota
I am the seagull that defeats
Todo o mau tempo no mar alto
All bad weather in the high sea
Eu sou o homem que transporta
I am the man who carries
A maré povo em sobressalto
The people's tide in turmoil
E quando agarro a madrugada
And when I grab the dawn
Colho a manhã como uma flor
I pick the morning like a flower
À beira mágoa desfolhada
Beside sorrow, a plucked
Um malmequer azul na cor
Blue daisy in color
O malmequer da liberdade
The daisy of freedom
Que bem me quer como ninguém
That loves me so well
O malmequer desta cidade
The daisy of this city
Que me quer bem, que me quer bem
That loves me, that loves me
Nas minhas mãos, a madrugada
In my hands, the dawn
Abriu a flor de Abril também
Also opened the April flower
A flor sem medo, perfumada
The fearless, fragrant flower
Com o aroma que o mar tem
With the scent that the sea has
Flor de Lisboa tão amada
Beloved flower of Lisbon
Que mal me quis
That didn't want me badly
Que me quer bem
That loves me
