Fado Marujo Lyrics in English Amália Rodrigues
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fado Marujo by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
O fado fez-se ao mar nas caravelas
Fado took to the sea in caravels
Despediu-se do Tejo e fez viagem
He said goodbye to the Tagus and went on a journey
Cantou-o p'lo convés a marinhagem
The navy sang it on deck
Quando no céu acordavam estrelas
When stars woke up in the sky
Saudades amargou de seus amores
I miss your loves so much
Adoeceu febril e quase morto
He fell ill with fever and almost died
Quando já não pensav a encontrar porto
When I no longer thought about finding port
Foi quando achou descanso nos Açores
That was when he found rest in the Azores
O fado ganhou sotaques diferentes
Fado gained different accents
No falar das nossas gentes
Not talking about our people
Qual deles mais engraçado
Which one is funnier?
É que o fado, mesmo fora de Lisboa
It's just that fado, even outside Lisbon
Se mexe com uma pessoa
If you mess with a person
Nunca deixa de ser fado
It never stops being fado
Como era marujo e atrevido
How naughty and daring he was
Andou com uma viola de paixões
He walked with a viola de passions
Mas tendo ela já dois corações
But she already has two hearts
Tomou outra de amores e foi corrido
He took another set of loves and ran away
Alguns afirmam mesmo ser verdade
Some even claim it to be true
Que nunca se refez desses amores
Who never recovered from these loves
Tornou-se vagabundo p'los Açores
He became a vagabond in the Azores
E de tanto chorar fez-se saudade
And from crying so much, I missed him
