Amália Rodrigues "Fado das Tamanquinhas" lyrics

Translation to:deenro

Fado das Tamanquinhas

De cantigas e saudadesVive esta linda Lisboa!Faz loucuras e maldades,Mas, no fundo, pura e boaNas suas leviandades!

Burguesinha no ChiadoNo seu patio, costureira,Nos retiros, canta o fado,No mercado regateiraE o Tejo é seu namorado.

Faz das cantigas pregões,Gosta do sol e da lua,Vai com fé nas procissões,Doida nas marchas da rua,Tem ciúmes e paixões.

Vive esta linda LisboaDiferente de outras cidades.É bairro Azul, Madragoa,Defeitos e qualidades,Tudo tem esta Lisboa.

Fado das Tamanquinhas

Of songs and longingsLives this pretty Lisbon!With follies and wickedness,But, in the end, pure and goodIn her frivolities!

Bourgeois in her jargonOn her patio, a seamstress,On retreats, she sings fado,In the market the auctioneerAnd Tejo is her boyfriend.

She makes songs a prayer,She likes the sky and the moon,Goes with faith in the processions,Crazy in street marches,She has jealousies and passions.

So lives this pretty LisbonDifferent from other cities.Is the Blue district, Madragoa,Deficits and qualities,Lisbon has all this.
