Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fado Final by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Com o som das folhas caídas
With the sound of fallen leaves
Levadas pelo vendaval surgirá um novo outono
Carried away by the gale, a new autumn will emerge
Meu vago e manso final
My vague and meek end
Vou dar à terra primeiro
I will give it to the earth first
As brancas mãos cor de cera
The white wax-colored hands
E ao vento caminheiro
And in the wind walker
Dar os meus cabelos d'hera
Give my ivy hair
E os meus segredos d'amor
And my secrets of love
Vou dá-los à primavera
I will give them to spring
Tristes são meus olhos tristes
Sad are my sad eyes
Vou levá-los ao mercado
I'll take them to the market
Das fantasias desfeitas
Of broken fantasies
Onde m'os tinham criado
Where they had created them
Deixo alma e os meus tormentos
I leave my soul and my torments
Pra que os apague nas ondas
So that it erases them in the waves
Deixo ao vento os sofrimentos
I leave the suffering to the wind
Dum caminho de mil rondas
On a path of a thousand rounds
Com o som das folhas caídas
With the sound of fallen leaves
Arrastadas pelo vento será criado outro fado
Dragged by the wind, another fado will be created
Livre das grades do tempo
Free from the grids of time
