Lyrics of Faluas Do Tejo - Madredeus

Faluas Do Tejo (original)

Faluas
Vaga lembrança
Qu’eu de criança
Guardei pra mim
Se as vejo ainda
Às vezes no Tejo
Revivo a alegria
Do tempo em que as via
No rio a passar
Faluas do Tejo
Que eu via a brincar
E agora não vejo
No rio a passar
Faluas vadias
Que andavam ali
Em tardes perdidas
Qu’eu nunca esqueci
E era tanta beleza
Que essas velas ao sol vinham criar
Belo quadro da infância
Que ainda não se apagou
E eu tenho a certeza
Que as Faluas do Tejo hão-de voltar
Outra vez a Lisboa

(translation)

faluas
vague recollection
What a child
I kept it to myself
If I still see them
Sometimes on the Tagus
I relive the joy
From the time when I saw them
On river to pass
Phalluses of the Tagus
That I saw playing
And now I don't see
On river to pass
bitches
who were there
In lost afternoons
that I never forgot
And it was so beautiful
That these sails in the sun came to create
Beautiful childhood picture
That still hasn't gone off
And I I'm sure
That the Faluas of the Tejo will return
Lisbon again
