Fado of the essence
That commands life,
In the souls of those who sing
The essence within!
Fado is nature,
The blueness of the sea...
Of heaven, it is that beauty
Which makes us dream.
Fado is light
On top of a peaceful cloud,
The herb that seduces
When the wind dances...
Fado is the new day
In Spring;
The purest poetry
That God ever made!
The candle that, fire
Elevated at the altar;
The prayer of a people
That sing weeping!
