Boats of the Tagus

Madredeus

Faluas Do Tejo

Faluas,
Vaga lembrança
Qu'eu de criança
Guardei pra mim

Se as vejo ainda
Às vezes no Tejo
Revivo a alegria
Do tempo em que as via no rio a passar

Faluas do Tejo
Que eu via a brincar
E agora não vejo
No rio a passar
Faluas vadias
Que andavam ali
Em tardes perdidas
Qu'eu nunca esqueci

E era tanta beleza
Que essas velas ao sol vinham criar
Belo quadro da infância
Que ainda não se apagou

E eu tenho a certeza
Que as Faluas do Tejo hão-de voltar
Outra vez a Lisboa

Boats of the Tagus

Boats,
Vague memory
That I from childhood
Kept for myself

If I still see them
Sometimes on the Tagus
I relive the joy
Of the time when I saw them passing by the river

Boats of the Tagus
That I watched playing
And now I don't see
Passing by the river
Vagrant boats
That were there
In lost afternoons
That I never forgot

And there was so much beauty
That those sails in the sun would create
Beautiful picture of childhood
That has not yet faded

And I am sure
That the Boats of the Tagus will return
Once again to Lisbon
