Lisboa Não Sejas Francesa Lyrics in English Amália Rodrigues
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lisboa Não Sejas Francesa by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
Não namores os franceses
Do not date the French
Menina, Lisboa
Girl, Lisbon
Portugal é meigo às vezes
Portugal is kind sometimes
Mas certas coisas não perdoa
But certain things it does not forgive
Vê-te bem no espelho
Look at yourself in the mirror
Desse honrado velho
Of that honorable old man
Que o seu belo exemplo atrai
Whose beautiful example attracts
Vai, segue o seu leal conselho
Go, follow his loyal advice
Não dês desgostos ao teu pai
Do not disappoint your father
Lisboa não sejas francesa
Lisbon, do not be French
Com toda a certeza
With all certainty
Não vais ser feliz
You will not be happy
Lisboa, que ideia daninha
Lisbon, what a harmful idea
Vaidosa, alfacinha
Vain, Lisbon native
Casar com Paris
Marrying Paris
Lisboa, tens cá namorados
Lisbon, you have suitors here
Que dizem, coitados
Who say, poor things
Com as almas na voz
With their souls in their voices
Lisboa, não sejas francesa
Lisbon, do not be French
Tu és portuguesa
You are Portuguese
Tu és só pra nós
You are only for us
Tens amor às lindas fardas
You have a love for beautiful uniforms
Menina, Lisboa
Girl, Lisbon
Vê lá bem pra quem te guardas
Be careful who you keep yourself for
Donzela sem recato, enjoa
A maiden without modesty, it's nauseating
Tens aí tenentes
There are lieutenants there
Bravos e valentes
Brave and valiant
Nados e criados cá
Born and raised here
Vá, tenha modos mais decentes
Come on, have more decent manners
Menina caprichosa e má
Capricious and naughty girl
Lisboa não sejas francesa
Lisbon, do not be French
