Lyrics

José Afonso - No Comboio Descendente

No comboio descendente
Vinha tudo à gargalhada.
Uns por verem rir os outros
E outros sem ser por nada
No comboio descendente
De Queluz à Cruz Quebrada... No comboio descendente
Vinham todos à janela
Uns calados para os outrosJosé Afonso - No Comboio Descendente - http://motolyrics.com/jose-afonso/no-comboio-descendente-lyrics-english-translation.html
E outros a dar-lhes trela
No comboio descendente
De Cruz Quebrada a Palmela... No comboio descendente
Mas que grande reinação!
Uns dormindo, outros com sono,
E outros nem sim nem não
No comboio descendente
De Palmela a Portimão

English translation

José Afonso - On the Train Going South (English translation)

On the train going south
Everyone was laughing
Some because they saw others laughing
And others for no reason at all
On the train going south
From Queluz to Cruz Quebrada.

On the train going south
Everyone looked out the window
Some were saying nothingJosé Afonso - No Comboio Descendente - http://motolyrics.com/jose-afonso/no-comboio-descendente-lyrics-english-translation.html
And others answering back
On the train going south
From Cruz Quebrada to Palmela

On the train going south
What great revelry
Some sleeping, others just tired
And others neither this way or that way
On the train going south
From Palmela to Portimão.

(translated from the Portuguese by Phil Meyler)
