Medo Lyrics in English Amália Rodrigues

Amália Rodrigues turns the spotlight inward in “Medo,” inviting us into a dimly lit room where her only bedfellow is fear itself. The lyrics reveal a late-night confession: whenever someone asks who shares her pillow, the singer answers, “O medo mora comigo” – fear lives with me. Instead of a flesh-and-blood lover, this haunting companion rocks her to sleep in a swing of solitude, creaking like an old piece of furniture that whispers sinister secrets in the dark.

The song paints fear as both jailer and lullaby, a presence that silences the world while roaring inside her head. She longs to scream for rescue, even flirts with self-destruction, yet she knows that fear would still be waiting “by the bridge at the end.” Wrapped in Amália’s mournful fado melodies, the lyrics become a raw meditation on anxiety and the inescapable shadows we carry within. Listening feels like stepping onto Lisbon’s cobbled streets at midnight, where the only sound is your own heartbeat echoing against the old stone walls.
