Dulce Pontes "Fado Português" lyrics

Translation to:en

Fado Português

O fado nasceu um diaQuando o vento mal buliaE o céu o mar prolongavaNa amurada de um veleiroNo peito de um marinheiroQue estando triste cantavaQue estando triste cantava

Ai que lindeza tamanhaMeu chão, meu monte, meu valeDe folhas, flores, frutas de oiroVê se vês terras de EspanhaAreias de PortugalOlhar ceguinho de choro

Na boca de um marinheiroNo frágil barco veleiroCantando a canção magoadaDiz o pungir dos desejosDo lábio a queimar de beijosQue beija o ar e mais nadaBeija o ar e mais nada

Mãe adeus, adeus MariaGuarda bem o teu sentidoQue aqui te faço uma juraQue eu te leve à sacristiaOu foi Deus que foi servidoDai-me no mar sepultura

Ora eis que embora outro diaQuando o vento nem buliaE o céu o mar prolongavaA proa de outro veleiroVelava outro marinheiroQue estando triste cantavaQue estando triste cantava

Ai que lindeza tamanhaMeu chão, meu monte, meu valeDe folhas, flores, frutas de oiroVê se vês terras de EspanhaAreias de PortugalOlhar ceguinho de choro

Ai que lindeza tamanhaMeu chão, meu monte, meu valeDe folhas, flores, frutas de oiroVê se vês terras de EspanhaAreias de PortugalOlhar ceguinho de choro

Portuguese Fado

The fado was born one dayWhen the bad wind was stirringAnd the sky was continuing the seaIn the gunwale of a sailboatIn the chest of a sailorWho being sad was singingWho being sad was singing

Ah! Such prettinessMy ground, my lot, my worthOf leaves, flowers, fruits of goldSee if you see the land of SpainSands of PortugalLook at the blind man crying

In the mouth of a sailorIn the fragile sailing shipSinging the sorrowful songSays the sting of the desiresOf lip burning kissesThat kiss the air and nothing moreKiss the air and nothing more

Mother goodbye, goodbye MariaGuard your senses wellThat here I make for you an oathI take you to the sacristyOr was God who was servedGive me burial at sea.

Or behold, although another dayWhen the wind was not seethingAnd the sky was continuing the seaThe bow of another shipHad another sailorWho being sad was singingWHo being sad was singing

Ah! Such prettiness,My ground, my lot, my worthOf leaves, flowers, fruits of goldSee if you see the land of SpainSands of PortugalLook at the blind man crying

Ah! Such prettiness,My ground, my lot, my worthOf leaves, flowers, fruits of goldSee if you see the land of SpainSands of PortugalLook at the blind man crying
