"20 days away from Lisbon seem like 20 years." "I´m just glad we´re back." "You´re right." "I´m also glad to return to my house in Alfama." "Captain Zé!" "Here comes the Boss´ boat!" "And it seems he´s bringing his daughter!" "Batatinha!" "We´re almost there, man!" "I know." "I can always smell land when we come near it." "The Captain was in a hurry to get here." "Of course!" "He wanted to arrive today, before St. John´s festivities." "And it was worth it." "After 20 days at sea, I´m also dying to do a bit of dancing." "And I´m planning on sleeping for eight days." "All you ever think about is sleep!" "But I was born to cook fish stews and to dance." " Hello, Captain." " Hello, Clarinha." "Mr. Tomás." " Had a nice trip?" " Marvellous." "We caught 90 tons of fish." "That´s quite something." " The new nets came through." " I told you so." "You look tired, as if you pulled the boat all the way by yourself just to get here sooner." "Almost..." "So, did you miss Lisbon that much, Captain?" " Quite." " Just Lisbon?" "Seen from the river, Lisbon is beautiful, don´t you think?" "Yes, it is beautiful." "A while ago, when we left home, we went by your street." " And?" " It´s filled with decorations!" "Lt´s St. John´s Eve, my whole quarter is celebrating." "Do you want to see the verses someone gave me on the night of St. Anthony?" "Your love is a sailor He sails across the ocean" "He´s waiting for the right tide To ask you to marry him." "He´s waiting for the right tide..." "That´s funny." "Perhaps the poet is a sailor." "I would like to know which poet gave me these verses when you went off to Cabo Branco." "Here, 50 escudos." "And give my best to your mother." "Thanks, Rosa." "And how´s the baby?" "My son is fine, may God protect him." " Have a nice day." " You too." " How much is the whiting?" " 40 escudos." " A kilo?" " No, a stone." " Jesus, that much?" " It´s expensive, but it´s good." " The red mullets came from Setúbal?" " No, from Sintra." "Can´t you give me a straight answer?" "Can´t you see they even speak with the accent?" " Good morning, Rosa." " Hello, Father Tomé." " I´m glad you´re here." "And the baby?" " Our baby." " He´s with Rosa´s daughter." " And José?" "The boat has arrived, but he should only come ashore in the afternoon." " So he´ll be attending the dance." " It wouldn´t be the same without him!" "Don´t worry, my girl." "He´ll be on time to join the dance." " You want me to take something home?" " Yes, please." " Take this fish for dinner." " Alright." "Who´s a dear that got you some nice squid to grill?" "My favourite?" "Marvellous..." " Wow, a steak..." " That´s for him." "He´s tired of fish." "You´re a dear." "He´s lucky to have you, Rosa Maria." "Listen, Father Tomé, go by the tent and watch over the baby." "The baby..." "See you later." " Do you need any help, Mrs. Mariana?" " What I need is to be left alone." "Always a stubborn woman." "My little Mariana knows she has my support, a woman in your position is bound to fall." "I tell you this as a barber." "Does this look alright?" " Higher, a bit higher." " Like this?" "One more step, Mrs. Mariana, just one more step." "Now it´s perfect." "Perfect..." " Is it nice?" " From where I stand, it´s very nice." " It´s beautiful!" " Boss!" "Oh, Boss!" " Go and help your assistant!" " I´ll go, but I´ll be right back." " Does this look alright?" " No, it´s all wrong!" "But seen as you can´t do better and I´m too old to climb that ladder..." "Ok, man, leave it at that." "Go do some work, lazy bum..." "At last, Rosa, I hold you in my arms once again." "All those days I was at sea seemed endless." "How´s the boy?" "Go see him." "He´s awake." "He´s so beautiful..." "He looks just like you." "The same mouth, the same eyes..." "What´s that nonsense, Rosa?" "No time for tears now." " I want to see you happy." " It´s nothing, I´m alright now." "Come see the dance." "Father can take care of the baby." "Let´s dance." "The air is filled with song Each more famous than the other" "Songs to offer the girls And to sing all over Alfama" "Happiness is everywhere And the songs are all around" "Come one and all, les make a circle Les all sing together" "Happiness is everywhere And the songs are all around" "Come one and all, les make a circle Les all sing together" "To sing Is to feel in one´s soul" "The sun light And the moon beams" "To sing Is to have the tranquillity" "Only the sailors have" "If you want to hear Someone sing with feeling" "If you want to feel The voice as a lament" "Listen to the sea Hear how it sings" "Songs of love Nostalgia of Lisbon" "If you want to hear Someone sing with feeling" "If you want to feel The voice as a lament" "Listen to the sea Hear how it sings" "Songs of love Nostalgia of Lisbon" "The air is filled with song Each more famous than the other" "Songs to offer the girls And to sing all over Alfama" "Happiness is everywhere And the songs are all around" "Come one and all, les make a circle Les all sing together" "Happiness is everywhere And the songs are all around" "Come one and all, les make a circle Les all sing together" "To sing Is to feel in one´s soul" "The sun light And the moon beams" "To sing Is to have the tranquillity" "Only the sailors have" "If you want to hear Someone sing with feeling" "If you want to feel The voice as a lament" "Listen to the sea Hear how it sings" "Songs of love Nostalgia of Lisbon" "If you want to hear Someone sing with feeling" "If you want to feel The voice as a lament" "Listen to the sea Hear how it sings" "Songs of love Nostalgia of Lisbon" "Happiness is everywhere And the songs are all around" "Come one and all, les make a circle Les all sing together" "I see the nicest milk lady in Alfama is very hot!" "Hello, Mr. Batatinha!" " Is the fishing trip over?" " I arrived today." " And my first concern..." " Was to come to the dance?" "No..." "To see you, Mrs. Mariana!" " You don´t say..." " l´ll say it and repeat it." "Mr. Tomás Bacelar here in Alfama!" "Such an honour for the Commission." "Good evening, Saramago." "We came to see your dance." "And you came in good time." "If you´ll excuse me, I´ll go say a few words." " For God´s sake, don´t, Saramago!" " For God and St. John´s sake." "If Clarinha insists, I won´t make a speech." "Good evening, boys." "Although you´re tired, no one missed the dance, I see." "They al work in my boats." "And they´re all pleased with their boss, I can tell." "And I should know, I´m a barber." "Mr. Saramago is to Alfama..." "What the President of Portugal is to the citadel of Cascais." "Precisely the same thing." "I was meaning to talk to you, Mr. Bacelar, about some boys who are unemployed, half a dozen of them." "I won´t have unemployment here in Alfama." "If Clarinha wants it, and her father allows it..." " The day after tomorrow, all aboard!" " Mr. Tomás Bacelar..." "Ladies, excuse me, please, but we´re all going to the buffet." "Such an honour." "Mr. Bacelar and Clarinha here, in Alfama." " Good evening, Miss." " Good evening." "Didn´t you say you were having a dance in your garden?" " I preferred to come see yours." " It´s an honour." "The honour is mine, since I´m the Chairman of the Commission." "So much so, I´m inviting you all to come join me at the buffet." " The march!" " The march!" "Far from its glory days Dressed in simple garments" "Alfama is its name It has History and pride" "And dances in its alleys" "Alfama If you go by Guia" "Don't forget your balloon So in St. John's festivities" "You can bring joy to Mouraria" "Alfama Don't forget to go by Madragoa" "Take another balloon In the shape of a heart" "The true crest of Alfama and Lisbon" "Since the stove is hot, let me heat the pan." " So, say it, already." " You need some support." "You sell your milk, I have some money put aside..." " What about the building?" " That doesn´t matter." "What?" "The building Faustino left me is worth 300.000 escudos!" "That´s why you need a man by your side to put water in your milk." "Oh, sorry..." "To put water in your fire." " And you think that man..." " If you say so." "In that case, Lucas, the pharmacist and Saramago, the barber..." "What?" "Don´t tell me I´m the third man in your life." "Well, Saramago has his own business..." "That barber is a charlatan, he just wants your late husband´s building." "I want to do business with you." "I give some, you give some..." " That is my dream..." " We´ll have a milk factory." "While you sell the milk, I´ll go looking for the cows." "Nice words..." "You´ve been telling me that for the last six months..." "But finally I found it!" "A few acres of land, a nice stable and ten of the prettiest cows you´ve ever seen." "You mean it?" "You´ll be surprised when I tell you how much it costs." " How much?" " That´s a secret." "But I need money for the down payment." "Half mine and half yours." " But how much is that?" " Around 24.000 escudos." "When you need the money, all you have to do is ask." "I never imagined you would do it." "Because you got me all wrong." "I always dreamed of living in the country." "A little white cottage, some oxen grazing nearby..." " Cows!" " Whatever." "You know, sailors know a bit of everything." "Cows, love..." "Marriage is a bit like a casserole." "The man is the onion and the woman is the pot." " I´m the pot?" " And I´m the onion for you." "So, what´s your answer?" "I´ll think about the casserole." "But don´t let it burn, ok?" "Far from its glory days Dressed in simple garments" "Alfama is its name It has History and pride" "And dances in its alleys" "Alfama If you go by Guia" "Don't forget your balloon So in St. John's festivities" "You can bring joy to Mouraria" "Alfama Don't forget to go by Madragoa" "Take another balloon In the shape of a heart" "The true crest of Alfama and Lisbon" "Having a merry old tête-ø-tête with Batatinha, I see." "He´s a funny lad..." "You have two choices." "You´ll either marry me, or you´ll marry no one." " What?" "Says who?" "My heart, that´s who." "Remember, marriage is like a barber shop." "The man is the razor and the woman is the sharpening tool." "I tell you this as a barber." "Alfama Don't forget to go by Madragoa" "Take another balloon In the shape of a heart" "The true crest of Alfama and Lisbon" " Hello, Malhado." " At last, there you are." "I´ve been waiting for you for over an hour." "If I know you come by our door once again..." "What´s it to you?" "Lt´s a public street." "Lower your voice." "Don´t make things even worse." " You talk out of jealousy, I know." " What do you know?" "Nothing." "One day you´ll know." "You don´t know what I´m capable of." " Threats..." " Come on, boys, be friends." "What´s it to you?" "I´m a friend of your brother´s." "Friends like you made him what he is." "And, for the last time, don´t go by that house ever again." " Renato..." " Leave me alone." "He´s your brother." "Little one..." "My son is such a little boy..." "Don´t cry, my love..." "I know you´ve seen Renato." "Yes, I saw him." "Did you speak to him?" " No." " Don´t lie." "What did he say?" "Nothing." "He´s a bad man, but he´s your brother." "Forgive him." "You´re the one who has to forgive him, he didn´t do anything to me." "He was born under a bad sign." "How do you expect to change him, when even I, his father, failed?" "The arrogant way in which he looks at us..." " Lower your voice." "You´ll scare him." " You don´t like what I´m saying?" "Neither does he." "He immediately started crying." "No one likes what you´re saying." "Isn´t that so, Mr. Grumpy?" "Grumpy boy, come to granddad." "Come to the old man..." "When you´re all grown up, you´ll be like your grandfather." "A bad temper, but with a soul as big as the Alfama quarter." "Do you hear me, little one?" "Come here..." "You little devil!" "Naughty boy..." "Poor thing..." "Go on..." "Rest for a bit." "I don´t want to see you sad." "The past is behind our backs." "Even before he was born, the boy gave us a lot of hardship." "Do you remember?" "As if it was today." "The same house, the same people..." "There was a look of sadness about Father Tomé's worn out face." "I was sick at the time." "Very sick." "Only Renato, the other son, seemed indifferent." "Unaware of what was going on." "I see you... but I don´t know you." "If you go on like this, you´ll have a sad ending." "Always around drunks and trouble makers." "Are you gonna lecture me?" "This soup you give me is quite sour, believe me!" "Lt´s not the soup." "You talk like that, because I can´t get a boat." "I´m not talking about work, I´m talking about your indifference." "You know that next door, Rosa is lying in bed, sick." " I´m feeling much better." " The doctor wasn´t in." "Don´t get the doctor, I don´t want him here." " But it´s for your own good." " I know." "But he can´t help me." "He can´t help you?" "Don´t tell Father Tomé." "Please don´t." "It would kill him." "Are you going to get the doctor, or not?" "Alright." "That won´t be necessary." "How could you, Renato?" "That poor thing is dying of fever." "And do you know why?" "To cover up your infamy and not to suffer the disgrace of revealing your name." "Let me finish, father." "The girl is sick because she´s having a child and I´m the father." "That´s the big catastrophe." " What?" " Yes, me." "So what?" "Villain!" "Am I such a wretch that I´m not entitled to have a son?" " How dare you!" " Calm down, father." "Renato may be right." "He and Rosa were free, they fancied each other." " Renato will fulfil his obligation." " I know my obligations." "And?" "I don´t need anyone telling me what to do, you understand?" "Do you know how Rosa came to live with us?" "When her father, an old friend of mine, died," "I brought her here." "I treated her as your own sister." " And now you..." " So what?" "After what you´ve done, you´ll marry Rosa." "Don´t be a fool." "Let her have the baby and then we´ll see." "Or do you think you´re a champion of righteousness?" " Shut up, wretched soul!" " José!" "Listen, Renato." "Answer your father, an old man whose hair the sea turned white and also hardened the heart." "What do you intend to do?" "I said all I had to say." "This was always a house of honoured people." "Are you throwing me out?" "This is a disgrace." "And, the following day, life went on its course, indifferent to my sorrow..." "our sorrow." " My father just opened the door..." " And threw you out?" "Never mind, partner, it´s water under the bridge." "It seems you committed a crime." "I´m concerned about her, and about my father." "Forget your father and your family!" "I live alone and that didn´t kill me." " It´s different, you´re used to it." " Fortunately." "In a man´s life, his family is just a hindrance." "Look at the seagulls, see how they´re happy." "Happy and free as the wind." "Come on, partner!" "Rosa is having a baby." "My baby..." "He´ll be born and he´ll grow up." "Everything in life grows up and dies." "Yesterday, I talked with the quartermaster of the ´Andorinha´." " As soon as the boat leaves..." " Where to?" "America!" "Now that´s a country!" "Plenty of money for everyone." "They have piles of it." " You´re right!" " That´s more like it." " Hi." " Hi." "I´m late, I didn´t hear you sing." "There are no lyrics, no melodies." "If someone wrote for me..." " I love to sing." " Where´s your mother?" "She was supposed to pick me up." "I don´t know what happened, it´s late." " Any messages for me?" " No, no." " Are you flirting with Emília?" " Me?" "Sure!" "Good for you." "But let the others do the marrying." " This one compared to Rosa..." " Don´t mention Rosa." "I´m worried about her." "When I left her, she was so sick..." "Don´t worry, I´ll walk you home." "You´re an angel." "I´ll be right back." "´You´re an angel´..." "Do you want me to come, or?" " No, you stay." " Shall we?" " See you later." " Good night." "Don´t look." "We are being followed since we left Alfama." " Jesus!" " Give me your mirror." " It´s him!" " José!" " He dared follow us." " For God´s sake..." "Go home." "Relax, it will all turn out fine." "I´m sure it´s me you want to talk to." "Or was it with her?" "Lt´s with you." "It´s dangerous to walk this area, at this hour." " I´m not afraid." " I know." "You use to say you only die once, and you´re right." "It´s like a woman´s innocence, you only lose it once." "That same old subject all over again?" "Yes, but this time forget I´m your brother." "Talk to me, man to man, as if I was, that no good friend of yours, Malhado." " Alright." "When people find out what went on in your house, they will turn their backs on your family." "And she and your father will die of embarrassment." " So what?" " You´re talking to Malhado, your inseparable friend who has all the great ideas." " I know." " Don´t you care about Rosa?" "I´m sick and tired of you lot." "I wasn´t born to be a father." "I have sailor´s blood in my veins..." "If one day this ocean decides to take me far away," "I don´t want any bonds tying me to this land." " Not her and not the child." " No one." "Very well..." "I´m Malhado, your friend and confident." "I know." "And I have ideas that can solve a lot of problems." "Your brother is not a bad man and maybe he wouldn´t mind..." "What?" "Marrying Rosa and claiming the child as his own." " What?" " Peace would return to our house, people wouldn´t talk, and everything would be as before." "Indeed." "You usually have good ideas, but this one..." " What do you think?" " Do you want me to hug you?" "But if, out of wickedness, you tell what really happened..." " Me?" " Yes, you." "Your brother, who is not altogether good..." "Are you crazy, Malhado?" "When I see him, I´ll give him a hug." " Brothers should help one another." " Think about it." "I already did." "And you, don´t ever step foot in that house again, you hear?" "It will be as if you had sailed away, to a distant land." "Goodbye, Renato." "Goodbye, Malhado." "What happened, Renato?" "Is everything alright?" " Yes, everything is alright." " Thank God." "While you were talking, next to me a ship was preparing to leave." " Which one?" " The ´Rose of Alfama´." "Rose of Alfama..." "Rose of Alfama" "Poor and delicate Rose" "Punished by the blowing wind" "In another's love Has lost its petals" "What happened?" "I was worried sick." "I was right all along, father." "He doesn´t care about his family, or Rosa, or his unborn child." "From the conversation we had, I understood he wants to sail to a land far away." "Listen, father, when I return from Cabo Branco, if she´ll have me, I´ll be her husband." "What a generous heart you have." "Why wouldn´t she have you?" "God is great!" "What happened with Renato was just a bad mistake in the life of that poor girl." "You never know, father, what goes on in other people´s minds." "We´ll go see her tomorrow morning and you´ll see how happy she´ll be." "We don´t have to wait till morning." "Tell José l´ll be his wife." "And, as the days went by, the news spread all over the quarter and people started to pass judgement." "So were for, others were against." "Those were the voices of the world." "I knew nothing of Renato." "Is it possible he thinks the way José said?" "Hello, beautiful Rosa!" "Little Rose of Alfama." "Only a pint, please." "Soon, I´ll have to leave a bit more." "It´s true, Aunt Mariana." "God have mercy on me." "God willing, it will all turn out fine." "And I already told you, I want to be the godmother." "That´s perfect, because Saramago will be the godfather." "And rumours say you´re going to get married..." "Nonsense." "They´re all after the building Faustino left me." "I don´t believe in men, not the least bit." " Have a nice day." " You too." "Stop right there, future mother of my children!" "Jesus Almighty!" "In the last few days, all people talk about is maternity!" "Lt´s life!" "Lt´s love!" "Love starts with a kiss, marriage in church, and children in the maternity, then we all die and end up in the garden of crosses." "Heavens, Mr. Batatinha..." "Don´t talk like that." "You remind me of my late Faustino." "Let´s not talk about the dead." "I´m here to replace your late husband." "So, can I count on you?" "Yes..." " But not right now." " What is it?" "Yes or no?" "Yes and no." "Listen, I´ll think about it, and tomorrow I´ll give you an answer." " By the way, what about the cows?" " It´s getting there..." " And the down payment?" " It´s also getting there." "It´s all getting there..." "Mrs. Mariana!" "I can´t believe my eyes!" " Here, in these steps avec..." " Me?" "That´s nonsense!" " I was with Mr. Batatinha!" " Why?" "Any news?" "Yes, there are." "But, as usual, you´ll be the last one to know." "Goodbye, Mrs. Mariana." "And, tomorrow, don´t forget:" "Yes or no." "What does he mean by ´yes or no´, Mrs. Mariana?" " It means ´no´." " My heart told me so." "You´ll be my in-law and also my wife." "Not so fast." "Mr. Saramago..." "Are all those gifts for the christening?" " You can´t have too many gifts..." " The baby has not even been born yet!" "But he will be." "This is all very pretty, but it´s not moral." "In my days, we got married and then came the children." " Nowadays, it´s the other way around." " Times change, Mr. Cabrita." "I´m amazed with Saramago." "Such high morality, and he ends up being the godfather." "Good morning, everyone." "I´m sorry for the delay, but the christening is upon us..." " Now I get it, it´s the gifts." "You´re right." "Buying gifts is such hard work." "We never know if we should buy a pipe, an automobile..." "Look at this." "He´ll look great." " That´s huge!" " Listen, have you sized it?" "I chose this size..." "Sorry..." "Shave the man!" "Shave and shut your mouth!" "And how do you know it will be a boy?" "Allow me to enlighten you." "When I look at a woman that is with child," "I never fail, I´m always right." "I tell you this as a barber." " You have a good eye." " I was born for great deeds." "It may be a great deed, but it´s immoral for a child to be born before the parents are married." "Mr. Cabrita is not pleased with the speeding up of the process?" "Lmmoral for you, for the child, and for José." " Hot or cold?" " Hot." "Hot?" "You wish!" "We only have cold water, there´s no gas." "There was no wedding and they are going to have a child." "There are no children, but they´re having a christening." "This is insane." "You think so?" "Now the godfather will speak." "As godfather, I cannot allow someone coming in my shop..." "Shop?" "Now the barber will speak!" "In this working establishment" "I won´t allow gossip to come through that door!" "But..." "Now the godfather will speak." "I´m shocked to see you insult a child who hasn´t been born yet..." "And, on top of that, in a barber shop!" "Did I say shop?" "Then the barber will speak." "That night, José came home late." "We were very worried." "That was unusual for him." "Finally, he arrived." "But, I don't know, he was different." "Father Tomé showed his concern and tried to find out what was going on." " What´s wrong with you?" " Nothing, I´m just tired of this life." " Tomorrow I´ll have to go away again." " That´s your life." "Sailors belong to the sea." "All of them." "All of them..." "All, except him." "You stole my boat from me and now you think you own ´Rose of Alfama´." "No, you´re better off here." "You worked all your life, it´s time for you to rest." "He deserved for me to care for him." "But our fate is in the hands of God and He guided me to Renato." "He disdained me." "He never came back, thas for sure, but I felt him close to me." "And, on its way to Cabo Branco," "'Rose of Alfama' is sailing across the seas." "Have a safe trip, José." "May God keep you." "So, Mr. Batatinha, do you prefer the milk lady or her building?" " Both." " Is that right?" "My Mariana´s soul is her building." "Since a person without a soul cannot live, if the building didn´t exist, she would be a corpse!" " Is that so?" "What about you?" " Me?" "I wouldn´t marry a dead woman!" "And, as the tropical night fell, tranquillity returned to the deck." "Everyone seemed to sleep under the hot African sky." "Ah, Captain, what a ship this is!" "We were the last ones to leave, and the others haven´t arrived yet!" "´Rose of Alfama´ is always ahead!" "´Rose of Alfama´..." "Rose of Alfama" "Flower of love and jealousy" "Beautiful Rose of such a fragrance" "Capable of winning my love" "Rose of Alfama" "Poor and delicate Rose" "Punished by the blowing wind" "In another´s love Has lost its petals" "Rose of Alfama" "Gentle flower with such charm" "Deeply rooted in my heart" "Is able to calm the sea" "Rose of Alfama" "A flower of such frailty" "I am jealous of the waves" "That rush to kiss your bosom" "Rose of Alfama" "Gentle flower with such charm" "Deeply rooted in my heart" "Is able to calm the sea" "Rose of Alfama" "A flower of such frailty" "I am jealous of the waves" "That rush to kiss your bosom" "Coffee, Captain?" "Are you watching the clouds?" "Do you think there´ll be a storm?" "No, Batatinha." "Can you see that star?" "The biggest of them all?" "When that star is like today, surrounded by clouds, they say something has happened in our lives." "It´s a boy." "It´s a boy." "It´s a boy!" "Lt´s a boy!" "Lt´s a boy!" "Lt´s a boy!" "Lt´s a boy!" "Lt´s a boy..." "It´s a boy!" "Lt´s a boy!" " Would you like to see him?" " I would and I will." "I´m going to see my son!" " Are you crazy?" "Think about it." " I already did." "I´m going to see my son!" "My boy!" "Think about what you´re doing." "You´ll ruin everything." "I would give my life for this moment." "Get out of my way, wretched soul!" "I know what I´m doing, I know what I´ll do." "If she sees you, she will die of shame!" "Renato!" "If you saw your brother´s son..." "Did you see him?" "How is he?" "Beautiful?" "Strong?" "Tell me!" "He´s a beautiful child." "I don´t know how to pray, but if I did, I would thank God..." "For what?" "For Rosa giving birth to such a beautiful child as you say." "He´s not as bad as they say." "He misses his father, his home, his family..." "Renato... I´ll give you the lyrics for a fado." "´The son God gave me, Has the alley for his godmother" "´He´s my son, but he is not mine." "´Lt´s her baby, only hers.´" "For me to suffer and pay" "For the crime that doomed me" "I can´t even kiss" "I can´t even kiss" "The son God gave me" "I can´t even kiss" "The son God gave me." "I know this child redeems" "My guilt and hers" "But seen as he´s the result of a crime" "But seen as he´s the result of a crime" "He has the alley for his godmother" "But seen as he´s the result of a crime" "He has the alley for his godmother." "And to punish me even further" "This newborn son of mine" "Doesn´t even live with me" "Doesn´t even live with me" "He´s my son, but he is not mine" "Doesn´t even live with me" "He's my son, but he is not mine." "Now my pale eyes" "See my son with her" "But he´s no longer my son" "But he´s no longer my son lt´s her baby, only hers" "But he´s no longer my son" "Is her baby, only hers." "But he's no longer my son" "Is her baby" "Only hers." "'Rose of Alfama'returned to Portugal after finishing its task." "These men are very happy." "Their work was hard, but now that it is over, they gladly enjoy the breeze that heats their faces." "José stands proud on the bridge, his eyes set on the star that will guide him to the North, way into the North." "When you arrive, you'll find me with a child in my arms." "It seems as if it was yesterday." "So little time has passed, but so many things have changed." "God willing, it will all turn out right." " I hope so." " Another holiday has passed." "Only a year from now will our square be filled with balloons and rosemary." " Well, it´s time." " Yes, it´s late." " Good night." " Good night." "Go and rest, my son." "You must be tired." "We have to fight for both of us." "I..." "For his happiness, I can do..." "Your blessing, father." " Hello, Lena." " Hello, Captain." "Captain José has just arrived." "Of course." "The boss is waiting for you." "You should be tired of roses by now." "Good morning, boss." "You perceive the storm and you run from the sea." " Good morning, Clarinha." " I sent for you..." "I wasn´t surprised." "When the boats are in the docks, even limpets eat them." "I like you because you understand our life. ´Espadarte´ is malfunctioning." "´Rose of Alfama´ has to leave tomorrow or the day after for Cabo Branco." "Maritime charts in sailors´ hands are school books in teachers´ hands." "Such is life, boss." "You have to go to Guincho, to the shipyard." "You know, the usual." "I´ll go along for the ride, and so, the one on the helm of the ´Gasolina´..." " Will be me, as usual." " But not today." "Today and always." "I was born to sail ships, and it wouldn´t be proper for a lady to be on the helm of the ´Gasolina´." "When a woman wants, she can even sail a ship." "When a woman wants and the man allows." "Rude man..." "Go on, José, make haste." "Go see if everything is in order." " Go to it." " Well?" "Shall we?" "As you wish, Captain!" "You look very distinguish at the helm, like a new man." "Sure enough, sailors should only be seen in the sea." "It´s our life, we are like fishes." "When they take us out of the water... I´m a sailor" "I was born in the high sea I´ve watched the ocean Since my childhood" "For I´ve always lived in the sea I´m a sailor" "My house overlooks the sea lt´s a tiny boat" "Which is where I want to live" "My heart is like a tiny boat" "Which wanders alone In the sea of illusion" "It sails at full speed" "With open sails I´m the seaman" "Who, without a man at the helm" "Wanders without course" "It sails at full speed" "With open sails I´m the seaman" "Who, without a man at the helm" "Wanders without course." "You little rug rat, don´t make a sound, your mother will be here soon." "I´m going to the docks but I won´t be long." "Understand?" "Ok..." "I would like to see you with your child in arms, but not this way, like a thief." "Put the child in the cradle." "Do you hear me?" "Put your son in the cradle." "So you came to steal your own child?" "He´s mine." "Rosa will be here soon." "We must settle this matter before she gets here." "Answer me." "Why did you want to take your child away?" "He´s mine, he belongs to me." "The woman can stay, I don´t care..." "Shut up, damn you!" "I know it wasn´t out of love you wanted to take him." "I can take him whenever I want." "He´s my son." "Not yours, he´s Rosa Maria´s son." "Your son only has a mother." " Because his father is a..." " Let me go!" "Answer me." "Why did you want to take him?" "To kill his mother of grieve?" "You´re right." "To get even with you." "You wanted to father my son and then marry the woman." " You wretch!" "How dare you?" " Let me go!" "They told me everything!" "In that case, tell me what they told you!" "Let me go!" "Either you let me go, or..." "How dare you?" "Were you scared?" "Renato said he wanted to see the child." "He´s a father..." "He talked to me and we came here." "Is that true?" "You came..." "I was just leaving." "I´ll come back some other day." "Goodbye." "You´re leaving so soon?" "Won´t you kiss your son goodbye?" "Goodbye, see you soon." "Mrs. Mariana, how can I lend you money to pay the mortgage of your building?" "If you cut me..." "Money is a very expensive thing!" "If my building goes on for sale, Faustino will be devastated!" "He couldn´t care less." "Your husband has passed on many years ago." "What about the mortgage?" "Lt´s 290.000 escudos!" "Hold on, man!" "The building is worth 300.000 escudos..." "I have some friends at the bank and they pulled some strings." "Good Lord, 290.000 escudos." "You´ll pay interests, the paperwork..." "These things take at least two tons of paperwork." "At the end of the day, you´ll lose 300.000 escudos and your building." "I tell you this as a barber." " Is the Blow horn bothering you?" " Blow horn?" "What blow horn?" " Blow horn is the razor´s brand." " You dumb..." "This building was my livelihood." "Livelihood..." "Some livelihood!" "What did you do with the 290.000 escudos?" "Well, I kept some of the money." "As for the rest, I´ve been giving it to Chico Batatinha..." "The cook?" "Batatinha?" "You´ve been giving money to that scallywag and you ask me to pay for your mortgage?" " I heard your intentions..." " Forget my intentions!" "No intentions are worth a woman with no money." "Mr. Batatinha!" "Mr. Batatinha!" "Come here, don´t run away!" "You came in the right time." " I have to buy greens for the boat." " Greens for the boat?" "Is the boat vegetarian now?" "You have more important matters to deal with." "You came tip toeing your way just to take Mrs. Mariana´s money." " Take it where?" " To the cows!" "I figured it was something to do with stables." "You spent the money in cows," "Mrs. Mariana was watching the building through a looking glass and you wanted to put me to graze, right?" " Mr. Saramago..." " Mrs. Mariana, say I." "And me too!" "Mr. Batatinha is a fisherman, but I´m not a fish." "Neither am I!" " What?" " I´m not a fish either!" "Wipe your blow horn, man..." "Blow horn... the razor!" "You want to get married?" "Marry Batatinha." "My money won´t buy oxen." "I´m not a cattle-breeder." " Farewell!" " Come, Mrs. Mariana." "Good God, Saramago, even the name is bad luck." "Boss!" "This cow business will end up in bullfight!" " In Algés." " In China, if needs be!" " I tell you this as I´m a barber!" " And so am I." "You´re stupid, but you catch on fast." "Rascals!" "Do you see now, Mrs. Mariana, this no good barber only wanted to marry you for your building?" "My poor building..." "Don´t cry." "The money you gave me is all here." "Let´s pay off the mortgage." "Come here, man." "Come quick!" " Can you understand this?" " I do, indeed." "Batatinha has got his hands on Mrs. Mariana." "Yes..." "Go inside, you stupid man!" "Go figure women." "She gave the money to that Onion..." "Potato, or whatever he is, and then she gives him her arm." "What do you have to say about this?" "Better not say a thing, that way you avoid saying nonsense." "Here we go, I have to rehearse my speech for tomorrow´s banquet." " We´re having a banquet?" " Yes, a farewell dinner" "Mr. Bacelar offers the crew of his ship." "Why?" "What´s it to you?" "So, tomorrow the shop will be closed." "It´s a holiday." "Holiday?" "A holiday in honour of Mr. Bacelar´s banquet." "Stop the nonsense, man!" "Let go of that." "Mr. Tomás Bacelar..." "Mr. Tomás Bacelar, your Excellency..." "No, not like that." "Sorry, Mr. Bacelar." "Mr. Bacelar, the people of Alfama wish to express their profound gratitude for the benefits your great work has brought this good people." "Toasts are usually made at the end of the banquets, but I saved a very special toast to the end a toast that will surprise your Excellency." "In this farewell dinner, the special guests have not yet arrived." "I´m going to take advantage of the time between their arrival and the arrival of the soup, to tell you that fishing in our country is fishing..." "The word ´fishing´ derives from the Latin word pescatorum." "I tell you this as a barber." "I stole from the sea" "When I, full of sorrow," "Wept over the sea" "Guitar" "Muse of bards" "Guitar" "Cathedral of my love" "Guitar" "My companion in sorrow" "Guitar" "You´re the mother of misfortune" "Mind you, girls" "I come from the sea" "And I bring songs" "For all of us to sing" "Songs of anxiety" "I stole from the sea" "When I, full of sorrow," "Wept over the sea" "Mind you, girls" "I come from the sea" "And I bring songs" "For all of us to sing" "Songs of anxiety" "I stole from the sea" "When I, full of sorrow," "Wept over the sea" "Songs of anxiety" "I stole from the sea" "When I, full of sorrow," "Wept over the sea" "Mind you, girls" "I come from the sea" "And I bring songs" "For all of us to sing" "Songs of anxiety" "I stole from the sea" "When I, full of sorrow," "Wept over the sea." "What did I tell you?" "They´re all the same." " Rosa, what are you doing here?" " I came to see you." "I wanted to speak to you before you left." " Now?" "What if someone saw you?" " Who cares what the others think?" "My conscience is clear." "I needed to talk to you and I came." "Bad news always come at night, along with darkness." "If it was day, I wouldn´t have the courage to say..." "What, Rosa?" "This way, at night, you won´t see my face, my tears..." "I free you from your promise." "I´ll go about my business." " It´s God´s will." " No, Rosa." "That house will always be yours." "You are my sister, the daughter of Tomé Marinheiro, the little Rose of Alfama." "Can I ask you one more thing, José?" "Lt´s my last request." "Make peace with Renato." "He´s your brother." "Do you miss him?" "We all miss him." "He´s one of ours, he´s family." "When you meet him, I would like to hear what you have to say to him." "I would say this much:" "Renato, leave that life of yours." "Work." "Work hard." "Because I want you to be a brave Captain as brave as the Captain of the ´Rose of Alfama´." "Translation and Subtitling Pedro Póvoa / CRISTBET, Lda."
