O Gente Da Minha Terra [English translation]

This fado is mine and yours

a destiny that binds us

however it might be denied

to the strings of a guitar

Everytime one hears the cries

of a singing guitar

one becomes immediately lost

with a desire to cry

Oh people from my land

it is now that I understand

this sorrow I carry

I received it from you

And it would seem like fondness

if I allowed myself to be lulled

the bitterness would be greater

my singing would be less sad

Oh people from my land
