Estudiantina Portuguesa
First the original text and then the translation by my friend Elena
Somos cantores de la tierra lusitana
Traemos canciones de los aires y del mar
Vamos llenando los balcones y ventanas
De melodias de la antigus Portugal
Oporto riego vino rojo la laderas
De flores rojas va cubierto el litoral
Verde es el tajo, verde son sus dos riberas
los dos colores de la enseña nacinal
Ay Portugal por qué te quiero tanto
Por qué, por qué se maravilla quien te ve
Ay Portugal por qué te quiero tanto
Por qué, por qué todas te miran hay por qué
Sera sera tus mujeras son hermosas
Sera sera que el vino alegra el corazon
Sera que huelen mi tus lindas rosas
Sera sera veras la mañana por el sol
The "Estudiantina Portuguesa" is a Portuguese folklore song, and
i don´t know if some words would be well translated...As you know, folklore
words have special meanings...but i´ll try it anyway...
Estudiantina Portuguesa ("estudiantina" is a folklore band formed by
students from the University, that use to sing folklore songs through the
streets for people to give them money They play Spanish lutes,
guitars,tambourines... They´re typical in Spain and Portugal.And
"portuguesa" means
"Portuguese"... so it´s a song sang by a Portuguese estudiantina)
We are singers from the Portuguese land ("lusitana" means the same that
"portuguese")
We bring songs from the sky and sea
We are filling the balconies and windows
with melodies from Ancient Portugal
Oporto (it´s referred to the town where is made the Port wine) irrigate red
wine the hillside
From red flowers is covered the littoral
Green is the Tajo (it´s a river born in Spain, that passes through
portugal, and flow into the Atlantic Ocean, i think that it´s called Tagus
in English), green are his both riversides
Both colours (referring to red and Green) from the National ensign (their
flag)
Ay, Portugal Why do I love you so much?
Why, Why, everyone who see you is amazed
Ay Portugal, Why do I love you so much?
Why does everybody see you, ay, why?
Maybe it´s because your women are pretty
Maybe it´s because the wine cheers the heart
Maybe it´s because your pretty roses smell good
Maybe it´s because you´ll see the morning with the sun
