Vila Real Hymn

by heliopinto - last update: May 14, 2006

The Hymn (I'll try to translate when I have time)

CHORUS
Vila Real,
Oh! que linda és:
Tens o Corgo aos pés
Em adoração!
Vila Real,
Como és gentil,
Canta-te o Cabril,
Beija-te o Marão!

Ornada de tantas galas,
Oh! abram alas:
Uma princesa.
É filha de um rei troveiro,
Sonho primeiro
D’áurea beleza.
O nome cheio de encanto,
Que eu amo tanto,
Também o diz:
Real d’aspecto e de graça
A sorrir para quem passa,
A filha de D.Dinis.

CHORUS

Teus filhos, linda princesa,
Tua nobreza
Sempre te herdaram,
E nos campos de batalha
Nunca à metralha
Costas voltaram:
É ver o bravo Araújo
E aquele marujo
Diogo Cão...
Pelotas e Alves Roçadas
Brandiram suas espadas
A lutar por teu brasão

CHORUS

À tua sombra descansa,
Deposta a lança,
Bravo «Espadeiro».
Ai! guardas em um jazigo,
O grande amigo
Do Rei primeiro!
A tua santa madrinha
Foi a Rainha
Santa imortal,
Que, num sorriso de amor,
Te converteu numa flor
Do jardim de Portugal

CHORUS

A small poem...

Vila Real alegre
Província de Trás os Montes.
No dia em que não te vejo,
meus olhos são duas fontes.

Translation:
Merry Vila Real,
Tras-os-Montes county.
The day I don't see you,
My eyes are like fountains

 I've heard so much about Basalhaes pottery I would want to see it made and buy some. They look so exquisite and unique and ancient. Are they expensive Helio?

 Wow, Vila Real seems pretty nice! I am really happy to find the places I can visit in the city besides Casa de Mateus! Now I really want to go, but we will see what happens, haha. Thanks for the great pictures!
