Fado Adeus [English translation]

It was by chance that I should have found your favours

But you left a strong mark in my breast.

I don't scorn your steps,

Nor do I deny the embraces,

The sweetness of the gaze.

When you said goodbye

Everything stopped, darkened.

I was lost, mirror of mine.

Tell me where walks my soul already without colour.

Where are the clear days, everything in bloom?

You left the guitar silent,

The razor is closed

On the silk scarf.

So black it hurts to look,

Dusk comes slowly,

Take care, love has ended.

Contrary to hope eternal,

Yet I know that you will not turn.

It told me, this fado. Goodbye.

Tell me where walks my soul already without colour.

Where are the clear days, everything in bloom?

You left the guitar silent,

The razor is closed

On the silk scarf.

So black it hurts to look,

Dusk comes slowly,

Take care, love has ended.

Contrary to hope eternal,

Yet I know that you will not turn.

It told me, this fado. Goodbye.
