Na rua do silêncio [English translation]

In the street of silence

there is more absence than anywhere else

an absence of voices and moonlight

and even life is but weeping

There are no lovers' oaths

there is no-one to lament us

and when the sun comes there

it's to break up before nightfall

(Repetition: lines 5-8)

In the street o0f silence

the Fado is more sombre

and no flowers

cast their shadows there.

The street has a destination

and this is its coldness

and its all senseless,

No-one ever passes there.

In the street of silence

the doors are firmly locked

and even dreams come along

without conviction nor tenderness.

In the street of silence

you'll find weary tears

in the stret of silence

it is always darkest night.
