Rosa negra no meu peito [English translation]

Right by the edge of your destiny,

I placed my heart.

You lost it somewhere down the road:

Oh, my loneliness!

A black rose was born

Right by the Calvary's wall;

It blooms when night arrives

In my lonely breast!

Reliving that which is awaiting me,

I've always come and gone.

My chimera's road

Is always next to longing and sadness!

On this illuminated stage

My perfect heart keeps beating.

Tonight, I'm singing the fado

'Black Rose Upon My Breast'!
