These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quando em Lisboa, o povo mal me o conhecia
When in Lisbon, people barely knew me
O que era o fado eu quis saber
What was fado? I wanted to know
E tanto andei e perguntei a quem sabia
And I walked so much and asked whoever knew
Que finalmente pude aprender
That I finally learned
Certo dia, ao passar numa rua em Lisboa
One day, as I passed a street in Lisbon
Um amigo poeta e cantor
A poet and singer friend
Murmurou-me ao ouvido e a medo o segredo
The secret whispered in my ear and in fear
Do fado em Lisboa é o amor!
Of fado in Lisbon is love!
O fado veio a Paris alfama veio a Pigalle
Fado came to Paris alfama came to Pigalle
E até o Sena se queixa de pena
And even the Sena complains of pity
Que o Tejo não quis sair de Portugal
That the Tagus didn't want to leave Portugal
O fado veio a Paris alfama veio a Pigalle
Fado came to Paris alfama came to Pigalle
E até San Germain des Prés
And even San Germain des Prés
Já canta o fado em francês!
Now sing fado in French!
Vim a Paris para cantar e ser fadista
I came to Paris to sing and be a fado singer
Por certo não pensa ninguém
Certainly no one thinks
Quea mesma história de Lisboa e do fadista
That's the same story as Lisbon and the fado singer
Aconteceu aqui também
It happened here too
Certo dia ao entrar num bistrot
One day when entering a bistrot
Pra ouvir a Java, alguém disse 'bonjour
To listen to Java, someone said 'bonjour
Amalia, c'est fini, tu l'as trouvé, le secret
Amalia, c'est fini, tu l'as trouvé, le secret
De la chanson de Paris est l'amour!'
De la chanson de Paris est l'amour!'
