Faluas,Vaga lembrançaQu'eu de criançaGuardei pra mim
Se as vejo aindaÀs vezes no TejoRevivo a alegriaDo tempo em que as via no rio a passarE era tanta belezaQue essas velas ao sol vinham criarBelo quadro da infânciaQue ainda não se apagouE eu tenho a certezaQue as Faluas do Tejo hão-de voltarOutra vez a Lisboa
Faluashazy remembrancesthat I, from childhood,...keep with me
If I see them yetsometimes in the Tegus,I revive the joyof the time I watched them to sail the riverAnd it was so much beauty,...which thoses sails brought, when glowing in the sunBeautiful landscape of my childhood...that was not erased yetAnd I am sure that...the Faluas of the Tejo shall come back...to Lisbon once again
