These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Um fado pessoano
A fado personno
Num bairro de lisboa
In a neighborhood of lisbon
Um poema lusitano
A Lusitanian poem
No dizer de camões
In the saying of camões
Uma gaivota em terra
A seagull on land
Um sujeito predicado
A predicate subject
Um porto esquecido
A forgotten port
Um barco ancorado
An anchored boat
Leva-as o vento
Take them the wind
Guarda no peito
Guard on chest
Figura de estilo
Style figure
Tua voz na proa
Your voice on the bow
De um verso já gasto
From a verse already spent
No olhar de pessoa
In the person's gaze
Uma frase perfeita
A perfect phrase
E um beijo prolongado
And a prolonged kiss
Uma porta aberta
An open door
Traz odor a pecado
Brings odor to sin
Uma guitarra com garra
A guitar with claw
Ouvida entre os umbrais
Heard between the thresholds
Numa cidade garrida com vista para o cais
In a town overlooking the pier
Leva-as o vento
Take them the wind
Guarda no peito
Guard on chest
Figura de estilo
Style figure
Tua voz na proa
Your voice on the bow
De um verso já gasto
From a verse already spent
No olhar de pessoa
In the person's gaze
Leva-as o vento
Take them the wind
