I gave my heart to you in old Lisbon that night,
Under the spell of your charms,
I felt your arms hold me so tight;
'Twas heaven to find such bliss in each kiss;
I lost my heart but I found one so true,
In old Lisbon with you.
It happened one night in Portugal
Lisbon was gay in the moonlight,
The stars were shining above
When I found you, my love;
What is this strangeness, this splendor,
All this myst'ry that makes me surrender?
Lisboa antigua reposa
Llena de encanto y belleza
Que fuiste hermosa al sonreir
Y al vestir tan airosa!
El velo de la nostalgia
Cubrirà tu rostro
De linda princesa.
No volveràs
Lisboa antigua y senorial
A ser morada feudal
A tu esplendor real.
Las fiestas y los lùcidos saraos
Y serenatas al amanecer
Ya nunca volveràn
