Coimbra Lyrics in English Amália Rodrigues
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Coimbra by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
Coimbra é uma lição
Coimbra is a lesson
De sonho e tradição
Of dream and tradition
O lente é uma canção
The professor is a song
E a lua a faculdade
And the moon, the university
O livro é uma mulher
The book is a woman
Só passa quem souber
Only those who know will pass
E aprende-se a dizer saudade
And you learn to say saudade
Coimbra do choupal
Coimbra of the poplar grove
Ainda és capital
You're still the capital
Do amor em Portugal, ainda
Of love in Portugal, still
Coimbra onde uma vez
Coimbra, where once
Com lágrimas se fez
A history was made with tears
A história dessa Inês tão linda
The story of that beautiful Inês
Coimbra das canções
Coimbra of songs
Coimbra que nos põe
Coimbra that puts
Os nossos corações, à luz
Our hearts in the light
Coimbra dos doutores
Coimbra of the scholars
Pra nós os seus cantores
For us, your singers
A fonte dos amores és tu
You are the fountain of love
Coimbra é uma lição
Coimbra is a lesson
De sonho e tradição
Of dream and tradition
O lente é uma canção
The professor is a song
E a lua a faculdade
And the moon, the university
O livro é uma mulher
The book is a woman
Só passa quem souber
Only those who know will pass
E aprende-se a dizer saudade
And you learn to say saudade
O livro é uma mulher
The book is a woman
Só passa quem souber
Only those who know will pass
E aprende-se a dizer saudade
And you learn to say saudade
