-Words by Frederick Michaels, music by Joe Peters

lyrics

V1: the soft bells of Amarante
ring sweetly to greet the noon
in its peaceful quiet
you enjoy local diet
to its charms you’re not a least bit immune

V2: the paving stones of Amarante
like in thousands of cities and towns
are worn by the years
of history’s tears
and the weight of life pressing them down

Chorus: If Amarante could tell
of the magical spell
the song of Portugal casts every night
its strains will make you sway
and dance your cares away
at least ‘til dawn awakens morning light

V3: the town square in Amarante
full of people you’d sure love to know
walking by the cafe
you chose for lunch today
you study how they come and how they go

Chorus:

Break:

Bridge: Portugal can leave you
breathless and dazed
with her history, her color and wine
you’ll surely be drawn in
by her soul on the wind
it makes you crave to stay a long time

V4: so take a journey to Amarante
make a point to pack a friendly smile
if you do they’ll smile back
and there’s nothing you'll lack
once they know you’ll be staying a while

Chorus:

Tag: take a journey to Amarante (2X)
Amarante no seu Portugal (2X)
