Lyrics

Madrugada,
Descobre-me o rio
que atravesso tanto
para nada,
E este encanto,
prende por um fio,
© a testemunha do que eu sei dizer.
E a cidade,
chamam-lhe Lisboa,
mas © sі o rio
que © verdade,
sі o rio,
© a casa de Ўgua,
casa da cidade em que vim nascer.
Tejo, meu doce Tejo, corres assim,
corres hЎ mil (c)nios sem te arrepender,
(c)s a casa da Ўgua onde hЎ poucos anos eu escolhi nascer.

Lyrics translation

Dawn,
Find me the river
that I go through so much
not at all,
And this charm,
fasten by a wire,
© the witness of what I can say.
And the city,
they call it Lisbon,
but © if the river
that © true,
si o rio,
© to Ygua's House,
House of the city in which I came to be born.
Tagus, my sweet Tagus, you run like this,
run Hy thousand (c)nios without regret,
(c)s the home of Ygua where Hy few years I chose to be born.
