Lisboa Antigua
Lisboa antigua reposa
llena de encanto y belleza
que fuiste hermosa al sonreir
y al vestir tan airosa!
El velo de la nostalgia
cubrirà tu rostro
de linda princesa.
No volveràs
Lisboa antigua y senorial
a ser morada feudal
a tu esplendor real.
Las fiestas y los lùcidos saraos
y serenatas al amanecer
ya nunca volveràn.
Old Lisbon
Old Lisbon rests
full of charm and beauty
how beautiful you were when smiling
and dressing so gracefully!
The veil of nostalgia
will cover your face
of a lovely princess.
You will not return
Old Lisbon, stately
to be a feudal dwelling
to your royal splendor.
The parties and the bright soirées
and serenades at dawn
will never return.
