Ò Elvas Ò Elvas - Elvas, Portugal - Immortalized in Lyrics on Waymarking.com

This is a song about a town, quiet a lovely town by the way. Here was born Paco Bandeira, a very popular singer, especially during the 70's, when he sang the freedom after decades of totalitarian regime in Portugal.

It's a song from the times when the events of Paris 68 were still alive in people's memories.... it was the time of the Citroens 2 CV, of the Renault 4, the Volkswagen Herbie... in Portugal several generations of men were involved in a bloody war in Africa.... that was the background of this song.

Uma malta da cidade Chamou-me de provinciano Eu tenho grande vaidade De ter nascido alentejano! Eu nasci no Alentejo À beira do Guadiana Sinto orgulho quando vejo A paisagem Alentejana! Ó Elvas, ó Elvas Badajoz à vista. Sou contrabandista De amor e saudade Transporto no peito A minha cidade. A minha cidade. A minha cidade. Location website: [Web Link]
