Fado Dançado [English translation]

I twist and turn in a skirt whenever I feel like it

I turn over the disk if the old one bores me

I bang with my boot, hand on my hip, and move

And they say you can't dance the fado, yeah right!

I'll leave the circle if I feel like it

They say if you don't move you'll be bored

Lame, what do you mean? Hand on my hip and move

Oh no you don't dance to it, yeah right

And if a tear comes to my eye

My boot will lead, my head will follow

It's two steps that way, another one this way

Seeing the mourning won't affect you, yeah right

Every time my fado plays during your stumbling

I unroll the web that destiny spins

I turn my life around, do everything in reverse

We'll see if you can't dance to the fado, yeah right

The moon went away

Look at the dawn coming up

If you sing and cry the fado

You can also dance to it

If you sing and cry the fado

You can also dance to it

And if a certain voice rebels in the kirmess

"The fado like this, I'm not sure what to make of it"

I'll stop right away and I'll say it out loud to the ballroom

Even my shawl I'll spin it if I feel like it

I'll leave the circle and turn my skirt, it goes up and down

I'll turn over the record and they say that it doesn't work like that

Spin your shawl around and dance for as long as the ball allows

And see if you can't dance to the fado

The guilt went away

The 'saudade'* can wait

If you sing and cry the fado

You can also dance to it

If you sing and cry the fado

You can also dance to it

You can also dance to it
