These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
O Fado nasceu um dia
Fado was born one day
Quando o vento mal bulia
When the wind barely blows
E o céu o mar prolongava
And the sky and the sea extended
Na amurada de um veleiro
On the rail of a sailboat
No peito de um marinheiro
On a sailor's chest
Que estando triste cantava
Who, being sad, sang
Que estando triste cantava
Who, being sad, sang
Ai que lindeza tamanha
Oh how beautiful
Meu chão, meu monte, meu vale
My ground, my mountain, my valley
De folhas, flores, frutas de oiro
Of leaves, flowers, golden fruits
Vê se vês terras de Espanha
See if you see lands of Spain
Areias de Portugal
Sands of Portugal
Olhar ceguinho de choro
Crying blind look
Na boca de um marinheiro
In the mouth of a sailor
Do frágil barco veleiro
From the fragile sailboat
Morrendo a canção magoada
Dying hurt song
Diz o pungir dos desejos
Says the pungency of desires
Do lábio a queimar de beijos
Lips burning with kisses
Que beija o ar e mais nada
That kisses the air and nothing else
Que beija o ar e mais nada
That kisses the air and nothing else
Mãe adeus, adeus Maria
Goodbye mother, goodbye Maria
Guarda bem no teu sentido
Keep it in your sense
Que aqui te faço uma jura
That here I make you an oath
Ou te levo à sacristia
Or I'll take you to the sacristy
Ou foi Deus que foi servido
Or was it God who was served
Dar-me no mar sepultura
Give me a grave at sea
Ora eis que embora outro dia
Now behold, though another day
Quando o vento nem bulia
When the wind doesn't even blow
E o céu o mar prolongava
And the sky and the sea extended
À proa de outro veleiro
At the bow of another sailboat
Velava outro marinheiro
Watched another sailor
Que estando triste cantava
Who, being sad, sang
Que estando triste cantava
Who, being sad, sang
Ai que lindeza tamanha
Oh how beautiful
Meu chão, meu monte, meu vale
My ground, my mountain, my valley
De folhas, flores, frutas de oiro
Of leaves, flowers, golden fruits
Vê se vês terras de Espanha
See if you see lands of Spain
Areias de Portugal
Sands of Portugal
Olhar ceguinho de choro
Crying blind look
