Tal qual esta lisboa, roupa posta á janela
Just like this lisbon, clothes put to the window
Tal qual esta lisboa, roxa jacarandá
Just like this lisbon, purple rosejacaranda
Sei de uma outra lisboa, de avental e chinela
I know another lisbon, apron and chinela
Ai lisboa fadista, de alfama e oxalá
Ai lisboa fadoista, alfama and oxalá
Lisboa lisboeta, da noite mais escura
Lisbon Lisbon, the darkest night
De ruas feitas sombra, de noites e vielas
Of streets made shade, of nights and alleys
Pisa o chão, pisa a pedra, pisa a vida que é dura
Step on the ground, step on the stone, step on life that is hard
Lisboa tão sózinha, de becos e ruelas
Lisbon so alone, alleys and alleys
Mas o rosto que espreita, por detrás da cortina
But the face that lurks, behind the curtain
É o rosto d'outrora feito amor feito agora
It's the face of once made love made now
Riso de maré viva numa boca ladina
Live tide laughter in a ladina mouth
Riso de maré cheia num beijo que demora
Full tide laughter in a long-deared kiss
E neste fado deixo esquecido aqui ficar
And in this fado I let forgotten here stay
Lisboa sem destino, que o fado fez cantar
Lisbon without destination, which fado made sing
Cidade marinheira sem ter que navegar
Seatown without having to sail
Caravela da noite que um dia vai chegar
Caravel of the night that one day will come
