Que negra sina ver-me assim
What a dark fate to see me like this
Que sorte e vil degradante
What luck and vile degrading
Ai que saudades eu sinto em mim
Oh how I miss you
Do meu viver de estudante
From my student life
Nesse fugaz tempo de Amor
In this fleeting time of Love
Que de um rapaz é o melhor
That a boy is the best
Era um audaz conquistador das raparigas
He was a bold conqueror of girls
De capa ao ar cabeça ao léu
Covered in the air, head in the air
Só para amar vivia eu, sem me ralar
I lived just to love, without worrying
A vadiar e tudo mais eram cantigas
Loitering and everything else were songs
Nenhuma delas me prendeu
None of them caught me
Deixá-las eu era canja
Leaving them was a piece of cake
Até ao dia que apareceu
Until the day it appeared
Essa traidora de franja
This traitor with bangs
Sempre a tinir sem um tostão
Always jingle penniless
Batina a abrir por um rasgão
Cassock opening by a tear
Botas a rir num bengalão e ar descarado
Boots laughing on a cane and brazen look
A vadiar com outros mais
Hanging around with others
E a dançar para os arraiais
And dancing for the festivals
Para namorar beber, folgar cantar o fado
To date, drink, relax and sing fado
Recordo agora com saudade
I remember it now with nostalgia
Os calhamaços que eu lia
The nonsense I read
Os professores da faculdade
College professors
E a mesa da anatomia
And the anatomy table
Invoco em mim recordações
I invoke memories in me
Que não têm fim dessas lições
That there is no end to these lessons
Frente ao jardim do velho campo de Santana
In front of the garden of the old Campo de Santana
Aulas que eu dava se eu estudasse
Classes I would teach if I studied
Onde ainda estava nessa classe
Where were you still in that class?
A que eu faltava sete dias por semana
The one I missed seven days a week
O Fado é toda a minha fé
Fado is all my faith
Embala, encanta e inebria
Packs, enchants and intoxicates
Pois chega a ser bonito até
Well, it's even beautiful
Na rádio-telefonía
On radio telephone
Quando é tocado com calor
When it is touched with heat
Bem atirado e a rigor
Well done and strictly speaking
É belo o Fado, ninguém há que lhe resista
Fado is beautiful, no one can resist it
É a canção mais popular, tem emoção faz-nos vibrar
It's the most popular song, it has emotion, it makes us vibrate
Eis a razão de eu ser doutor e ser fadista
This is the reason I am a doctor and a fado singer
