Lyrics

Alberto Ribeiro - Coimbra

Coimbra é uma lição

De sonho e tradição 

O lente é uma canção 

E a lua a faculdade 

O livro é uma mulher 

Só passa quem souber 

E aprende-se a dizer saudade Coimbra do choupal 

Ainda és capital

Do amor em Portugal, ainda
Coimbra onde uma vezAlberto Ribeiro - Coimbra - http://motolyrics.com/alberto-ribeiro/coimbra-lyrics-english-translation.html

Com lágrima se fez 

A história dessa Inês 

Tão linda
Coimbra das canções

Tão meiga que nos pões

Os nossos corações a nú
Coimbra dos doutores

Pra nós os teus cantores 

A fonte dos amores, és tu Submitter's comments:  This fado was made famous by Ribeiro together with Amalia Rodrigues and can also be found in the songs of Amalia Rodrigues in the Lyrics Translate database.

English translation

Alberto Ribeiro - Coimbra (English translation)

Coimbra is a lesson
Of dream and tradition
The teacher is a song
And the moon the faculty
The book is a woman
But it goes for who knows
And learns to say longing

Coimbra, place of poplars
You are still the capital
Of love in Portugal, yet
Coimbra where onceAlberto Ribeiro - Coimbra - http://motolyrics.com/alberto-ribeiro/coimbra-lyrics-english-translation.html
With tears became
The story of Inês
So beautiful
Coimbra of songs
So sweet that you put in them
Our naked hearts
Coimbra of graduates
For us your singers
The source of love, is you.
