Faluas Do Tejo

Boats of the Tagus

Faluas Do Tejo

Boats,Faluas,
Vague memoryVaga lembrança
That I from childhoodQu'eu de criança
Kept for myselfGuardei pra mim

If I still see themSe as vejo ainda
Sometimes on the TagusÀs vezes no Tejo
I relive the joyRevivo a alegria
Of the time when I saw them passing by the riverDo tempo em que as via no rio a passar

Boats of the TagusFaluas do Tejo
That I watched playingQue eu via a brincar
And now I don't seeE agora não vejo
Passing by the riverNo rio a passar
Vagrant boatsFaluas vadias
That were thereQue andavam ali
In lost afternoonsEm tardes perdidas
That I never forgotQu'eu nunca esqueci

And there was so much beautyE era tanta beleza
That those sails in the sun would createQue essas velas ao sol vinham criar
Beautiful picture of childhoodBelo quadro da infância
That has not yet fadedQue ainda não se apagou

And I am sureE eu tenho a certeza
That the Boats of the Tagus will returnQue as Faluas do Tejo hão-de voltar
Once again to LisbonOutra vez a Lisboa
