Fado menor [English translation]

My eyes are two candles

Casting a sad light on my face

Your eyes are two candles

Casting a sad light on my face

Scarred by torments

Of longing and grief

Scarred by torments

Of longing and grief

When I hear the ringing of the trinities

And the afternoon is already coming to its end

When I hear the ringing of the trinities

And the afternoon is already coming to its end

I pray in missing you

An “Our Father” for me

I pray in missing you

An “Our Father” for me.

But you do not know how to pray

Nor ache in mourning

But you do not know how to pray

Nor ache in mourning

Why do you unnerve me

Why do I want you so much?

Why do you unnerve me

Why do I want you so much?

You are to my despair

As the clouds that fly high

You are to my despair

As the clouds that fly high

Every day I wait for you

Every day you stand me up

Every day I wait for you

Every day you stand me up
