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
