I sing the Fado throughout the night inside, he works all day outside
Time runs so quickly and the hour comes in a hurry
He sighs, drowsy: oh my love don't go away
I close my eyes by night outside, he sleeps by night inside
In the morning he doesn't linger, he puts on a coat and leaves running
And hears my voice which implores: oh my love stay a little longer
I'll invent a Fado, a new Fado
A Fado that lulls my voice and makes me fall asleep when I sing it
I'll go in that Fado to your dream
In my dream, and finally alone, in it we must wake up
I go on dreaming by day outside, he works all day inside
I don't know what he does now, but maybe he in this moment
Enters through that door: oh my love stay a little longer
I sing the Fado throughout the night inside, he works all day outside
I already feel him in my fingers with the eternal now
That will be our time: oh my love don't go away
