Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nasceu Assim, Cresceu Assim by Carlos Do Carmo from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Talvez a mãe fosse rameira de bordel
Maybe mom was a brothel whore
Talvez o pai um decadente aristocrata
Perhaps the father a decadent aristocrat
Talvez lhe dessem à nascença amor e fel
Maybe they'd give you love and gall at birth
Talvez crescesse aos tropeções na vida ingrata
Perhaps it grew to stumbles in ungrateful life
Talvez o tenham educado sem maneiras
Maybe they raised him without manners
Entre desordens, navalhadas e paixões
Between disorders, razors and passions
Talvez ouvisse vendavais e bebedeiras
Maybe i'd hear sales and booing
E as violências que rasgavam corações
And the violence that tore hearts
Talvez ouvisse vendavais e beredeiras
Maybe i'd hear sales and berets
E as violências que rasgavam corações
And the violence that tore hearts
Talvez ardesse vagamente em várias chamas
Perhaps it would openly burning in various flames
Talvez a história fosse ainda mais bizarra
Maybe the story was even more bizarre
No desamparo teve sempre duas almas
In helplesss he always had two souls
Que se chamavam a viola e a guitarra
What were called the viola and the guitar
Pois junto delas já talvez o reconheçam
For they may already recognize him
Talvez recusem dar-lhe o nome de enjeitado
Maybe they refuse to give him the name of a clumsy
E mesmo aqueles que não cantam não esqueçam
And even those who don't sing don't forget
Nasceu assim, cresceu assim, chama-se fado
Born like this, grew up like this, it's called fado
E mesmo aqueles que não cantam não esqueçam
And even those who don't sing don't forget
Nasceu assim, cresceu assim, chama-se fado
Born like this, grew up like this, it's called fado
