Foi Deus Lyrics in English Fagner
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Foi Deus by Fagner from Portuguese to English.
Não sei
I don't know
Não sabe ninguém
Nobody knows
Porque canto fado
Why I sing fado
Neste tom magoado
In this pained tone
De dor e de pranto
Of pain and weeping
E nesse tormento
And in this torment
Todo o sofrimento
All the suffering
Eu sinto que alma
I feel that my soul
Cá dentro se acalma
Inside calms down
Nos versos que canto
In the verses I sing
Foi Deus
It was God
Que deu luz aos olhos
Who gave light to the eyes
Perfumou a rosa
Perfumed the rose
Deu ouro ao sol
Gave gold to the sun
E prata ao luar
And silver to the moonlight
Foi Deus
It was God
Que me pôs no peito
Who put in my chest
Um rosário de penas
A rosary of sorrows
Que vou desfiando
That I unravel
E choro a cantar
And cry while singing
Pôs estrelas no céu
Put stars in the sky
Fez o espaço sem fim
Made the endless space
Deu luto às andorinhas
Gave mourning to the swallows
Ai
Oh
Deu-me esta voz a mim
Gave this voice to me
Se canto
If I sing
Não sei o que canto
I don't know what I sing
Misto de ventura
A mix of fortune
Saudade e ternura
Longing and tenderness
Ou talvez amor
Or perhaps love
Mas sei que cantando
But I know that singing
Sinto o mesmo quando
I feel the same as when
Se tenho um desgosto
If I have a sorrow
E o pranto no rosto
And the tears on my face
Nos deixa melhor
Make us feel better
Foi Deus
It was God
Que deu voz ao vento
Who gave voice to the wind
Luz ao firmamento
Light to the firmament
E pôs o azul
And put the blue
Nas ondas do mar
In the waves of the sea
Foi Deuss
It was God
Que me pôs no peito
Who put in my chest
Um rosário de penas
A rosary of sorrows
Que vou desfiando
That I unravel
E choro a cantar
And cry while singing
Fez poeta o rouxinol
Made the nightingale a poet
Pôs no campo o alecrim
Put rosemary in the field
Deu as flores a primavera
Gave the flowers to spring
Aiiiiiiiiii
Ohhhhhhhh
Deu-me essa voz a mim
Gave that voice to me

rouxinol — nightingale
Rouxinol translates to "nightingale". It's a beautiful and somewhat uncommon word in everyday Portuguese, making it stand out in the lyrics.
In the song, the nightingale is presented as a creature made a poet by God, highlighting its melodious song and connection to nature's beauty. This word evokes a sense of poetic grace and wonder, perfectly fitting the song's theme of divine creation and inspiration.
