Fado-Mae Lyrics in English Dulce Pontes
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fado-Mae by Dulce Pontes from Portuguese to English.
Ai, minha fonte, meu rio
Ah, my spring, my river
Ai, de água tão pura e bela
Ah, of water so pure and beautiful
Nos seus olhos um sol
In her eyes a sun
Que é a minha janela
That's my window
Quem me dera ser o mar
I wish I were the sea
P'ra a embalar e adormecê-la
To rock her and lull her to sleep
E não deixar seu corpo arrefecer
And not let her body grow cold
Agasalhar-lhe o peito em minha mão
Warm her chest in my hand
E não deixar o vento, a chuva, a mágoa, a solidão na sua água
And not let the wind, the rain, the sorrow, the loneliness in her water
Mergulhar meu coração
Plunge my heart
Quem me dera ser o mar
I wish I were the sea
P'ra a embalar e adormecê-la
To rock her and lull her to sleep
Quem me dera ser o mar
I wish I were the sea
P'ra a embalar e adormecê-la
To rock her and lull her to sleep
E não deixar seu corpo arrefecer
And not let her body grow cold
Agasalhar-lhe o peito em minha mão
Warm her chest in my hand
E não deixar o vento, a chuva, a mágoa, a solidão na sua água
And not let the wind, the rain, the sorrow, the loneliness in her water
Mergulhar meu coração
Plunge my heart
Quem me dera ser o mar
I wish I were the sea
P'ra a embalar e adormecê-la
To rock her and lull her to sleep
