Alfama (original)Alfama (translation)
Quando Lisboa anoitece When Lisbon gets dark
Como um veleiro sem velas Like a sailboat without sails
Alfama toda parece Alfama all seems
Uma casa sem janelas a house without windows
Aonde o povo arrefece Where the people cool down
Ã^ numa água-furtada Ã^ in an attic
No espaç o roubado à mágoa In the space stolen from heartache
Que Alfama fica fechada That Alfama is closed
Em quatro paredes de água In four walls of water
Quatro paredes de pranto Four walls of tears
Quatro muros de ansiedade Four walls of anxiety
Que à noite fazem o canto That at night do the song
Que se acende na cidade That lights up in the city
Fechada em seu desencanto Closed in your disenchantment
Alfama cheira a saudade Alfama smells of longing
Alfama não cheira a fado Alfama doesn't smell like fado
Cheira a povo, a solidão It smells like the people, the loneliness
Cheira a silêncio magoado Smells wounded silence
Sabe a tristeza com pão You know sadness with bread
Alfama não cheira a fado Alfama doesn't smell like fado
Mas não tem outra cançãoBut there's no other song
