If my sealed soul
could reveal itself and all
that which I suffer in silence.
If I could tell you
everyone would see
how sad I am
how I pretend to be happy
how I weep when I sing
May God forgive me
If this a crime or a sin
But this is how I am
and by running away from Fado
I ran away from myself.
By singing I my all
and nothing hurts me
So if it is a sin
To love Fado
May God forgive me
When I sing I don't think
how awful life is
I don't even belong to myself
It's not even worth the effort
I have come to seek the truth
and to dream - I dream a lot-
that everything is joy
and there is no sadness
