Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Deus me perdoe by Amália Rodrigues from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Se a minha alma fechada
If my closed soul
Se pudesse mostrar
If I could show
E o que eu sofro calada
And what I suffer in silence
Se pudesse contar
If I could count
Toda a gente veria
everyone would see
Quanto sou desgraçada
How disgraced I am
Quanto finjo alegria
How much I fake joy
Quanto choro a cantar
How much I cry singing
Que Deus me perdoe
May God forgive me
Se é crime ou pecado
If it's a crime or a sin
Mas eu sou assim
But I'm like this
E fugindo ao fado
And running away from fado
Fugia de mim
run away from me
Cantando dou brado
Singing I shout
E nada me dói
and nothing hurts me
Se é pois um pecado
if it is a sin
Ter amor ao fado
have love for fado
Que Deus me perdoe
May God forgive me
Quanto canto não penso
How much I sing I don't think
No que a vida é de má
How bad is life
Nem sequer me pertenço
I don't even belong
Nem o mal se me da
Not even evil is given to me
Chego a querer a verdade
I come to want the truth
E a sonhar sonho imenso
And dreaming a huge dream
Que tudo é felicidade
that everything is happiness
E tristeza não há
And there is no sadness
