Born of being Portuguese
Lived life of being Portuguese
Did his life around the world
Went by the vagabond dream
Went by the earth hugged
//: Well deared or badly loved
The Fado.://
Lived of being Portuguese
Was cheerful or gingerly
For being a Fado, it's a song
For being the future, it's the past
//: Badly deared or well loved
The Fado.://
Every time more Portuguese
Walks in the wings of the wind
Sometimes is lets out a lament
And asks to be found
//: He's a dear, he's loved
The Fado.x3//
