Há festa na Mouraria [English translation]

There is a celebration in Mouraria

It is the day of the procession

Of Our Lady of Health.

Even Rosa Maria

From Rua do Capelão

Seems to have virtue.

Rich coverlets at the windows,

Loose petals on the ground,

Believing souls, rough people.

Faith walks through the alleys,

It is the day of the procession

Of Our Lady of Health.

After a short murmur

Profound silence weighs

Over Largo da Guia.

The Virgin passes by on a support,

Everyone kneels down and prays,

Even Rosa Maria

As if petrified,

In fervent prayer

Her attitude is such,

That the already defoliated rose,

From Rua do Capelão,

Seems to have virtue.

That the already defoliated rose,

From Rua do Capelão,

Seems to have virtue.
