Текст и перевод песни Lucilia Do Carmo - Antigamente

Antigamente

Antigamente, era coito a Mouraria
Daquela gente condenada a rebelia
O fado ameno, canção das mais portuguesas
Era o veneno p'ra lhes matar as tristezas

A Mouraria, mãe do fado doutras eras
Que foi ninho da Severa
Que foi bairro turbulento
Perdeu agora todo o aspecto de galdéria
Está mais limpa, está mais séria
Mais fadista cem por cento

Adeus tipóia com pilecas e guiseiras
Adeus rambóia e cafés de camareiras
Nada mais resta da Moirama que deu brado
Do que a funesta lembrança desse passado

A Mouraria que perdeu em tempos idos
A nobreza dos sentidos
E o pudor de uma virtude
Salvou ainda toda a graça que ela tinha
Agarrada à capelinha
Da Senhora da Saúde

Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, it was coitus in Mouraria
That people doomed to rebellion
The pleasant fado, most Portuguese of songs
Was the poison for killing their sadness

Mouraria, mother of the fado of other eras
That was Severa's nest
That was turbulent neighborhood
Has now lost all its brothel look
Is cleaner, is more serious
One hundred percent more fadista

Farewell, saloon with wenches and tricks
Farewell, rambóia and maid cafes
Nothing remains of the Moirama that shouted
That the dire memory of that past

Mouraria, who has lost in times past
The nobility of the senses
And the modesty of a virtue
Has even saved all the grace that she had
Holding on to the chapel
Of Our Lady of Health
