En Lixboa sobre lo mar barcas novas mandei lavrar, ai mia senhor velida! En Lixboa sobre lo les barcas novas mandei fazer ai mia senhor velida! Barcas novas mandei lavrar e no mar as nnandei deitar, ai mia senhor velida! Barcas novas mandei fazer e no mar as mandei meter, ai mia senhor velida! |
Down in Lisbon, down on the sea I ordered new ships built for me, my lady, my gracious lady. Down in Lisbon, down on the deep I ordered new ships made for me, my lady, my gracious lady. I ordered new ships built for me and I had them launched on the sea, my lady, my gracious lady. I ordered new ships made for me and I had them put out to sea, my lady, my gracious lady. |
