Lisbon

Lisbon This beautiful city My mother, my saint is you My saint Lisbon That saint that welcomes me Lisbon Your love is unspeakable Your warmth overwhelms me Lisbon that saint is you Giving me luck And offering good things to me Lisbon I can never part away from you Lisbon Give me thy roses I will sing those fados That speaks about my love to you Lisbon I always wait for the sun to rise every morning With my arms outstretched Lisbon You will never know all the joy you given me Just by seeing that sun rising in the morning Lisbon don't you abandon me I will never leave you, I will never forsake you My mother, my saint Lisbon This house is mime; this house is the house of my saint Lisbon The windows wide open The fresh breeze from the sea is coming in That gentle wind is moving slowly Fados I will never stop to sing to you I will put my heart, my mind to it Lisbon let my sun shine every day The water of the sea Moving slowly and gently Like a child learning to walk Lisbon My mother, my saint I worship you Good night my mother, my saint Let you Be known to me and to the people of Lisbon Sometimes there is someone patting me in the shoulders And I know it couldn't be anybody else But my mother, my saint Lisbon My mother my saint I give my life My love
