Bairro Alto aos seus amores tão dedicado
Quis um dia dar nas vistas
E saíu com os trovadores mais o fado
Pr'a fazer suas conquistas
Tangem as liras singelas,
Lisboa abriu as janelas, Acordou em sobressalto
Gritaram bairros à toa
Silêncio velha Lisboa, Vai cantar o Bairro Alto
Trovas antigas, saudade louca
Andam cantigas a bailar de boca em boca
Tristes bizarras, em comunhão
Andam guitarras a gemer de mão em mão
Por isso é que mereceu fama de boémio
Por seu condão fatalista
Atiraram-lhe com a lama como prémio
Por ser nobre e ser fadista
Hoje saudoso e velhinho,
Recordando com carinho seus amores suas paixões
Pr'a cumprir a sina sua
Ainda veio pr'o meio da rua, cantar as suas canções
Trovas antigas, saudade louca
