Original text with translation
Amália Rodrigues
Lisboa já tem Sol mas cheira a Lua
Quando nasce a madrugada sorrateira
E o primeiro eléctrico da rua
Faz coro com as chinelas da Ribeira
Se chove cheira a terra prometida
Procissões têm o cheiro a rosmaninho
Nas tascas da viela mais escondida
Cheira a iscas com elas e a vinho
Um craveiro numa água furtada
Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa
Uma rosa a florir na tapada
Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa
A fragata que se ergue na proa
A varina que teima em passar
Cheiram bem porque são de Lisboa
Lisboa tem cheiro de flores e de mar
Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa
Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa
A fragata que se ergue na proa
A varina que teima em passar
Cheiram bem porque são de Lisboa
Lisboa tem cheiro de flores e de mar
Lisboa cheira aos cafés do Rossio
E o fado cheira sempre a solidão
Cheira a castanha assada se está frio
Cheira a fruta madura quando é Verão
Teus lábios têm o cheiro de um sorriso
Manjerico tem o cheiro de cantigas
E os rapazes perdem o juízo
Quando lhes dá o cheiro a raparigas
Um craveiro numa água furtada
Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa
Uma rosa a florir na tapada
Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa
A fragata que se ergue na proa
A varina que teima em passar
Cheiram bem porque são de Lisboa
Lisboa tem cheiro de flores e de mar
Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa
Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa
A fragata que se ergue na proa
A varina que teima em passar
Cheiram bem porque são de Lisboa
Lisboa tem cheiro de flores e de mar
Lisbon already has the sun but it smells like the moon
When the sneaky dawn is born
It is the first streetcar
In chorus with the Slippers from Ribeira
If it rains it smells like the promised land
Processions smell like rosemary
In the taverns in the most hidden alley
Smells like baits with them and wine
A carnation in an attic
It smells good, it smells like Lisbon
A rose blooming in the lid
It smells good, it smells like Lisbon
The frigate that rises on the bow
The varina that insists on passing
They smell good because they are from Lisbon
Lisbon smells like flowers and the sea
It smells good, it smells like Lisbon
It smells good, it smells like Lisbon
The frigate that rises on the bow
The varina that insists on passing
They smell good because they are from Lisbon
Lisbon smells like flowers and the sea
Lisbon smells like Rossio's cafes
And fado always smells of solitude
It smells like roasted chestnuts if it's cold
It smells like ripe fruit when it's summer
Your lips smell like a smile
Basil has the smell of songs
And the boys lose their judgment
When you smell girls
A carnation in an attic
It smells good, it smells like Lisbon
A rose blooming in the lid
It smells good, it smells like Lisbon
The frigate that rises on the bow
The varina that insists on passing
They smell good because they are from Lisbon
Lisbon smells like flowers and the sea
It smells good, it smells like Lisbon
It smells good, it smells like Lisbon
The frigate that rises on the bow
The varina that insists on passing
They smell good because they are from Lisbon
Lisbon smells like flowers and the sea
