Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Foi Deus by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Não sei, não sabe ninguém
I don't know, nobody knows
Por que canto o fado neste tom magoado de dor e de pranto
Why i sing fado in this hurt tone of pain and weep
E neste tormento todo o sofrimento
And in this torment all the suffering
Eu sinto que a alma cá dentro se acalma nos versos que canto
I feel that the soul inside calms down in the verses I sing
Foi deus que deu luz aos olhos
It was God who gave birth to the eyes
Perfumou as rosas, deu oiro ao sol e prata ao luar
Persmoked the roses, gave oiro to the sun and silver in the moonlight
Foi deus que me pôs no peito
It was God who put me in my chest
Um rosário de penas que vou desfiando e choro a cantar
A rosary of feathers that I'm shredding and crying to sing
E pôs as estrelas no céu, e fez o espaço sem fim
And put the stars in the sky, and made the endless space
Deu o luto às andorinhas
Mourned the swallows
Ai, e deu-me esta voz a mim!
Oh, and you gave me this voice!
Se canto, não sei o que canto
If I sing, I don't know what I sing
Misto de ventura, saudade, ternura e talvez amor
Mix of fortune, longing, tenderness and perhaps love
Mas sei que, cantando, sinto o mesmo quando
But I know that by singing, I feel the same way when
Se tem um desgosto e o pranto no rosto nos deixa melhor
If you have a heartbreak and the weethrough on your face makes us better
Foi deus que deu voz ao vento
It was God who gave voice to the wind
Luz ao firmamento e deu o azul às ondas do mar
Light to firmament and gave blue to sea waves
Foi deus que me pôs no peito
It was God who put me in my chest
Um rosário de penas que vou desfiando e choro a cantar
A rosary of feathers that I'm shredding and crying to sing
Fez poeta o rouxinol, pôs no campo o alecrim
He made the nightingale poet, put rosemary in the field
Deu as flores à primavera
Gave the flowers to spring
Ai, e deu-me esta voz a mim!
Oh, and you gave me this voice!
Outro
Deu as flores à primavera
Gave the flowers to spring
Ai, e deu-me esta voz a mim!
Oh, and you gave me this voice!
