Lisboa Rainha Do Mar [English translation]

Lisbon, queen of the sea

Mistress of the sea, of the world and of life

A peerless city, ancient Lisbon was

I see the white cloak of her tight-knit houses

And I see the thousand sails of the boats along the river

Even though I do not know if her queendom lasted

All the same the Mistress was called the Queen

Queen of the sea, that dominated the sea

And what is left of ancient Lisbon?

I do not know, yet

I see this city standing still in time

The vision I hold in mind must be suggested by nostalgia

Lisbon remembers that time

When she was Mistress, and the Queen of the sea

Carried by the wind
