When I sing and the rain falls,
A cloud of uncertainty
Hangs over me from time to time.
Every drop evokes a woe
To rhyme with sadness
The verses that I am singing.
Every drop evokes a woe
To rhyme with sadness
The verses that I am singing.
And the sweet melody
That fado envelops
When my gaze blurs
I see the strange melody
Of the rain that the wild wind
Whispers at the windows.
I see the strange melody
Of the rain that the wild wind
Whispers at the windows.
So I give my regrets,
When fado possesses me,
Sad rhymes, poor things;
The rain falls, the wind moans
These are the tears of heaven
That make mine surge out.
The rain falls, the wind moans
These are the tears of heaven
That make mine surge out.
