English Translation

Da janela do meu quarto

From the window of my room

Vejo a luz do quarto dela

I see the light of her room

Quando a lua vem brincando

When the moon comes playing

Nos telhados da viela

On the rooftops of the alley

Vejo o sol de madrugada

I see the sunrise

A beijar sete colinas

Kissing seven hills

Quando se espraia no cais

When it spreads at the wharf

Para espreitar as varinas

To peek at the fishwives


Da janela do meu quarto vejo o mundo

From the window of my room, I see the world

Tenho um mundo de poesia para ver

I have a world of poetry to see

Vejo alfama que labuta com ardor

I see Alfama toiling ardently

A sorrir e a cantar

Smiling and singing

Vejo o tejo a espreguiçar-se lá no fundo

I see the Tagus stretching far below

Vejo a rua onde ela passa a correr

I see the street where she rushes by

Vejo a sé onde à tardinha com fervor

I see the cathedral where fervently

Ela vai sempre a rezar

She always goes to pray in the evening


Vejo pares de namorados

I see pairs of lovers

Almas cheias de ilusões

Souls full of illusions

Toda a magia de um fado

All the magic of a fado

E a alegria dos pregões

And the joy of street cries

E à noitinha quando as sombras

And in the evening when the shadows

Vestem de luto a viela

Drape the alley in mourning

Da janela do meu quarto

From the window of my room

Vejo a luz do quarto dela

I see the light of her room
