Ouvi dizer que me esqueceste [English translation]

Sad guitar, I heard it said

That you forgot me

In your moan so aggrieved

Sad guitar, I lost the time

And you lost

The hidden sky where night falls

And fado is born

My chest shrinks itself

As if the tormented soul

Between the vibrating strings

Was wanting to hide

I close my eyes and sad

I follow the desperate voice

That like me was shouting

All the pain of living

Sad guitar, I heard it said

That you forgot me

In your moan so aggrieved

Sad guitar, I lost the time

And you lost

The hidden sky where night falls

And fado is born

I would not want to share

With anyone else the loneliness

Hidden from me

In your sad trill

My love betrayed

It stopped my pain of this betrayal

That's why ultimately

I never sang fado

Sad guitar, I heard it said

That you forgot me

In your moan so aggrieved

Sad guitar, I lost the time

And you lost

The hidden sky where night falls

And fado is born
