These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Horas mortas, noite escura
Dead hours, dark night
Uma guitarra a treinar
A guitar training
Uma mulher a cantar
A woman singing
O seu fado de amargura
Your fate of bitterness
E através da vidraça
And through the windowpane
Enegrecida e rachada
Blackened and cracked
Aquela voz magoada
That hurt voice
Entristece a quem lá passa
It saddens those who pass by
Vielas de Alfama
Alleys of Alfama
Ruas da Lisboa antiga
Streets of old Lisbon
Não há fado que não diga
There is no fado that doesn't say
Coisas do vosso passado
Things from your past
Vielas de Alfama
Alleys of Alfama
Beijadas pelo luar
Kissed by the moonlight
Quem me dera lá morar
I wish I could live there
Pra viver junto do fado
To live with fado
A lua às vezes desperta
The moon sometimes wakes up
E apanha desprevenidas
And catches off guard
Duas bocas muito unidas
Two mouths very close together
Numa porta entreaberta
In a half-open door
Então a lua corada
Then the blushing moon
Ciente da sua culpa
Aware of your guilt
Como quem pede desculpa
As if apologizing
Esconde-se envergonhada
Hide in shame
Vielas de Alfama
Alleys of Alfama
Ruas da Lisboa antiga
Streets of old Lisbon
Não há fado que não diga
There is no fado that doesn't say
Coisas do vosso passado
Things from your past
Vielas de Alfama
Alleys of Alfama
Beijadas pelo luar
Kissed by the moonlight
Quem me dera lá morar
I wish I could live there
Pra viver junto do fado
To live with fado
Vielas de Alfama
Alleys of Alfama
Beijadas pelo luar
Kissed by the moonlight
Quem me dera lá morar
I wish I could live there
Pra viver junto do fado
To live with fado
