Lyrics
Lisboa tem histórias de reis
De mares e de selvas
Lisboa tem histórias de hotéis
De espiões e de guerras!
Lisboa tem lendas de heróis
Princesas, donzelas
Lisboa tem lendas do cais
Do fado e navalhas!
Lisboa tem a tradição
Dos bairros antigos
Vinho e saridnhas no verão
À beira do rio!
Lisboa tem os rés-do-chão
E as altas mansardas
E há que descer e subir
Por estreitas escadas!
Adoro Lisboa
Eu quero-lhe bem
Gosto de ver as gaivotas
Nos céus de Belém!
Adoro Lisboa
E as histórias que tem
E sei que há muita gente
Que adora também!
Lyrics translation
Lisbon has stories of Kings
Of seas and jungles
Lisbon has Hotel stories
Of spies and wars!
Lisbon has Legends of heroes
Princesses, maidens
Lisbon has Legends of the pier
From fado and razors!
Lisbon has tradition
From the old quarters
Wine and saridnhas in summer
By the river!
Lisbon has the ground floors
And the high attics
And you have to go down and up
Down narrow stairs!
I Love Lisbon
I love you well
I like to see the Seagulls
In the heavens of Bethlehem!
I Love Lisbon
And the stories it has
And I know there are a lot of people
Who loves it too!
