Amália Rodrigues "Foi Deus" lyrics

Translation to:enro

Foi Deus

Nao sei, nao sabe ninguemPorque canto o fado neste tom magoado de dor e de prantoE neste tormento, todo o sofrimentoEu sinto que alma ca dentro se acalma nos versos que canto

Foi Deus que deu voz ao vento,Luz ao firmamento e deu o azul as ondas do marFoi Deus que me pos no peitoUm rosario de penas que vou desfiando e choro a cantar

Fez poeta o rouxinol, pos no campo o alecrimDeu as flores a primaveraAi, e deu-me esta voz a mim

Se canto, nao sei o que cantoMisto de ventura, saudade, ternura e talvez amorMas sei que cantando, sinto mesmo quandoSe tem um desgosto e o pranto no rosto nos deixa melhor

Foi Deus, que deu luz aos olhos, deu o ouro ao sol e a prata ao luarFoi deu que me pos no peito um rosario de penas que vouDesfiando e choro a cantar.

It was God

I know not, no one knowsWhy I sing the fado in this hurtful tone of pain and mourningAnd in this torment, all this sufferingI feel my soul is consoled by the verses I sing

It was God who gave voice to the wind,Light to the heavens and made the waves of the sea blueIt was God who placed on my chestA feathered rosary that I unravel as I cry and sing

He made a poet of the nightingale, he put rosemary in the fieldsHe gave flowers to the springOh, he gave me this voice

If I sing, I know not what I singA mix of chance, longing, fondness and perhaps loveHowever I know that when singing, I feel thatWhen one has heartbreak and mourning on our face we are consoled

It was God who gave light to the eyes, gave gold to the sun and silver to moonlightIt was God who placed on my chestA feathered rosary whichI unravel as I cry and sing
