En las noches de luna y clavel
On moonlit and carnation nights
De Ayamonte hasta Villa Real
From Ayamonte to Villa Real
Sin rumbo por el río, entre suspiros
Aimless by the river, between sighs
Una canción viene y va
A song comes and goes
Que la canta María
That Mary sings it
Al querer de un andaluz
To the will of an Andalusian
María es la alegría, y es la agonía
Mary is joy, and she is agony
Que tiene el sur
What does the south have?
Que conoció a ese hombre
Who met that man
En una noche de vino verde y calor
On a night of green wine and heat
Y entre palmas y fandangos
And between palms and fandangos
La fue enredando, le trastornó el corazón
It got tangled her, it upset her heart
Y en las playas de Isla
And on the beaches of Isla
Se perdieron los dos
Both were lost
Donde rompen las olas, besó su boca
Where the waves break, he kissed his mouth
Y se entregó
And he turned himself in
Ay, María la portuguesa
Ay, Maria the Portuguese
Desde Ayamonte hasta Faro
From Ayamonte to Faro
Se oye este fado por las tabernas
You can hear this fado by the taverns
Donde bebe vinho amargo
Where bitterness vinho drinks
Porque canta con tristeza
Because he sings with sadness
Porque esos ojos cerrados
Because those eyes closed
Por un amor desgraciado
For an unhappy love
Por eso canta, por eso pena
That's why he sings, that's why he grieves
¡Fado! Fado porque me faltan tus ojos
Fado! Fado because I'm missing your eyes
¡Fado! Porque me falta tu boca
Fado! Because I'm missing your mouth
¡Fado! Porque se fue por el río
Fado! Because he went down the river
¡Fado! Porque se va con la sombra
Fado! Because it goes with the shadow
Dicen que fue el te quiero
They say it was the I love you
De un marinero, razón de su padecer
Of a sailor, reason for his suffering
Que en una noche en los barcos
That in a night on the boats
De contrabando, p'al langostino se fue
Smuggled, p'al shrimp went
Y en las sombras del rio
And in the shadows of the river
Un disparo sonó
A gunshot rang out
Y de aquel sufrimiento, nació el lamento
And from that suffering, lament was born.
De esta canción

Se oye este fado por las tabernas

Porque esos ojos cerrados
