He had a harmonious and warm voice, which dominated just as he wanted and yet held a modest and discreet posture. He was able to launch a full time artistic career, during which he recorded major hits, especially at the beginning of the sixties, using radio as one of his main avenues.

Sempre Que Lisboa Canta
Carlos Ramos Lyrics

Sempre Que Lisboa Canta Lisboa cidade amiga que…
Marziale
on Não Venhas Tarde
‘Don’t Come Back Late’
Don’t come back late…. you say to me sweetly
Without a fuss you ask me softly
Don’t come back late… I pray to God in the end
Your heart still keeps… a little love for me
You know very well that I go to another woman
That she also has a hold on me
That I am able only do what she wants
You think that I am lying to you and a coward
But you still say, with a smile
My love, don’t come back late
Don’t come back late… you tell me without rancour
When your heart is burning … with the fire of jealousy
Don’t come back late… you tell me from the window
I always come later because I can’t escape from her.
You know very well that I go to another woman
That she also has a hold on me
That I am able only do what she wants
Sadly, I confess, I'm afraid
That you will tell me one day
My love, don’t come back early
Ironically, because I never know where you are
I may get back early one day but it’s too late
