Ana Moura "A fadista" lyrics

Translation to:enfr

A fadista

Vestido negro cingidoCabelo negro compridoE negro xaile bordadoSubindo à noite a avenidaQuem passa julga-a perdidaMulher de vício e pecadoE vai sendo confundidaInsultada e perseguidaP'lo convite costumado

Entra no café cantanteSeguida em tom provocanteP'los que querem comprá-laUma guitarra a trinarUma sombra devagarAvança p'ra o meio da salaEla começa a cantarE os que a queriam comprarSentam-se à mesa a olhá-la

Canto antigo e tão profundoQue vindo do fim-do-mundoÉ pressa perante o pregãoE todos os que a ouviamÀ luz das velas pareciamDevotos em oraçãoE os que há pouco a ofendiamDe olhos fechados ouviamComo pedindo-lhe perdão

Vestido negro cingidoCabelo negro compridoE negro xaile traçadoCantando p'ra aquela mesaEla dá-lhes a certezaDe já lhes ter perdoadoE em frente dela na mesaComo em prece a uma deusaEm silêncio ouve-se o fado

The Fado Singer

A black belted dressLong black hairAnd a black embroidered shawlWalking up the avenue at nightThose passing by consider her lostA woman of vice and sinBeing misunderstoodInsulted and persecutedAccustomed to being invited

She enters the café cantanteThen in a provocative toneFor those who want to buy itA guitar trillingA shadow slowlyAdvances to the middle of the roomShe begins to singAnd those who wanted to buy itSit at the table looking at her

A song old and so deepThat comes from the ends of the earthIs rushed before an announcementAnd all who heard itIn the candlelight seemedDevoted in prayerAnd those who offended her a littleListened with closed eyesAs if asking her forgiveness

A black belted dressLong black hairAnd a black embroidered shawlSinging for that tableShe gives them the assuranceThat they are already forgivenAnd in front of her on the tableAs if in prayer to a goddessThe fado is heard in silence
