These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Fado, chorar a tristeza bem
Fado, cry sadness well
Fado adormecer com a dor
Fado fall asleep with the pain
Fado só quando a saudade vem
Fado only when the longing comes
Arrancar do meu passado
Rip from my past
Um grande amor
A big love
Mas não condeno essa paixão
But I don't condemn this passion
Essa mágoa das palavras
This hurt of words
Que a guitarra vai gemendo também
That the guitar is moaning too
Eu não, eu não pedirei perdão
No, I won't ask for forgiveness
Quando gozar o pecado
When you enjoy sin
E voltar a dar de mim
And give of myself again
Porque eu quero ser feliz
Because I want to be happy
E a desdita não se diz
And the misfortune is not said
Não quero o que o fado quer dizer
I don't want what fado means
Fado, soluçar recordações
Fado, sob memories
Fado, reviver uma tal dor
Fado, relive such pain
Fado, só quando a saudade vem
Fado, only when the longing comes
Arrancar do meu passado um grande amor
Ripping a great love from my past
Mas não condeno essa paixão
But I don't condemn this passion
Essa mágoa das palavras
This hurt of words
Que a guitarra vai gemendo também
That the guitar is moaning too
Eu não, eu não pedirei perdão
No, I won't ask for forgiveness
Quando gozar o pecado
When you enjoy sin
E voltar a dar de mim
And give of myself again
Eu sei desse lado que há em nós
I know this side of us
Cheio de alma lusitana
Full of Portuguese soul
Como a lenda da Severa
Like the legend of Severa
Porque eu quero ser feliz
Because I want to be happy
E a desdita não se diz
And the misfortune is not said
O fado não me faz arrepender
Fado doesn't make me regret
Porque eu quero ser feliz
Because I want to be happy
E a desdita não se diz
And the misfortune is not said
O fado não me faz arrepender
Fado doesn't make me regret
