Mulher Fadista [Fado Corrido] [English translation]

Woman Fadista/fado singer

Bring the soul into her mouth

Love and crazy hope

Each fado is an achievement.

Nobody knows if she sings,

Hers or your pain

but she sings with fervor

from the heart to the throat.

Opens the door on her chest

for every sadness and heartbreak

and with tears on her face,

gives them life in her song.

And with tears on her face,

gives them life in her song.

A guitar trilling

its a faithful companion,

friend, lover, counselor

and illuminates her song.

The greatest thought

Can't describe

the fire, the boiling lava

in this strong feeling

And so the whole life

Walking side by side

longing, fadista/fado singer and fado

Distinguishing them there is no way.

There is no way to change

The fatalistic fate

The Fado singer

Cries singing

The Fado singer

Cries singing
