Eu queria cantar-te um fadoQue toda a gente ao ouvi-lo Visse que o fado era teu
Fado estranho e magoadoMas que pudesse senti-lo Tão na alma como eu
E seria tão diferenteQue ao ouvi-lo toda genteDissesse quem o cantava
Quem o escreveu não importaQue eu andei de porta em portaPara ver se te encontrava
Eu hei-de por-lhe alguns versosNo fado que há nos teus olhos,O fado da tua voz.
Nossos fados são diversosTu tens um fado, eu tenho outroTriste fado temos nós
I would like to sing a fado for youOne that, everyone when they heard it,Would know it was made for you
A strange and sorrowful fadoYet, one that you would feel itSo deeply in your soul as much as I do
This fado would be so uniqueThat everyone, when they heard it,Would tell you who was singing it
Who is the author does not matter,Because I went door to doorin the hope of finding you
In the lyrics, I would pour some versesFrom the fado that lives in your eyesFrom the fado that lives in your voice
Our fados are so unlikeYour fado is of one sorf, mine is of anotherHow sad our fado is
