Quando janto em restaurantes [English translation]

When I eat in restaurants

With my group of friends,

All of them ask me to sing,

And I defer their request

- Sing there only for a moment!

- More in a little while . . .

They bring the first plate

And more wine for the table

And they ask me to sing Fado,

And I defer the surprise . . .

- Sing there it's just one Fado!

- Only after the desert . . .

Now it goes up

Now it goes down

Now it goes to the center

From this one I just get away

From this one I just get away

But I don't liberate myself

Come on let's go

Come back to the top

There comes a new dose of wine

And the second serving of plates

They increase the pressure on me

To show my claws

- Go there sing a little Fado!

- The guitars are missing . . .

The desert is served

Among a pile of bottles

They ask me for a well-known song

They improvise the guitar

- Sing, don't be sold!

- I already sing here out of nowhere . . .

Now it goes up

Now it goes down

Now it goes to the center

From this one I just get away

From this one I just get away

But I don't liberate myself

Come on let's go

Come back to the top

I insist with the denial,

They insist with the request,

And here arrives the coffee

Between two glasses of wine

- Sing there it's just to relax

- I'll now in a little moment . . .

Shrunken in my corner

I watch the pounding

It's that they drink so much

And they only want to pay a little-itty bit

It's then when I get up

And there I escape quite meekly

Now it goes up

Now it goes down

Now it goes to the center

From this one I just get away

From this one I just get away

But I don't liberate myself

Come on let's go

Come back to the top

Now it goes up

Now it goes down

Now it goes to the center

From this one I just get away

From this one I just get away

I've just liberated myself

Now come back under

This one I've already sung!
