Fado Para Esta Noite [English translation]

Come back to me tonight,

Come back to me tonight,

I will sing you a fado, in the silence, if you want

I will send a message to the moonlight, which usually lies down

beside us, not to come today, if you come

Come lie down, I have washed the bedding

My neatly arranged sheets are perfumed with lavender,

I have adorned the pillows with coloured ribbons,

Cheetah bedspread with a flowered border

And at the head I have an illuminated picture of a saint

Come back to me tonight,

Come back to me tonight,

I will sing you a fado, in the silence, if you want

I will send a message to the moonlight, which usually lies down

beside us, not to come today, if you come

I put my shawl to cover us

And, alone by the open window

I put two roses that are shooting

Red kisses; there is no mouth to give them

Without your body, my night is deserted

Come back to me tonight,

Come back to me tonight,

So I can be embraced by your strong arms

I want your healthy smell, in this empty room of mine,

At dawn, I will kiss your sleeping lips

I will send a message to the moonlight, which usually lies down

beside us, not to come today, if you come
