In Lisbon Cathedral
I hear the bells tolling:
It must be a princess's birthday
As some Saint is being celebrated!
It's the queen, who is departing
For the lands of Tomar;
In Lisbon Cathedral
I hear the bells tolling...
On a beautiful palfrey,
I can clearly see her riding;
A very dazzling retinue
Is walking right behind her.
Follow the road, for it leads
Up to the lands of Tomar.
On a beautiful palfrey,
I can clearly see her riding.
They say that our queen
Is going to visit it today:
Woe betide he who is leading her
To seek shelter in that large estate!
Follow the road, for it leads
Up to the lands of Tomar.
On a beautiful palfrey,
I can clearly see her riding.
In Lisbon Cathedral

For the lands of Tomar;
In Lisbon Cathedral
I hear the bells tolling...
[Instrumental]
It's the queen, who is departing
For the lands of Tomar;
In Lisbon Cathedral
I hear the bells tolling...
The bells...
(La-ra ra-ra...)
