I quarreled with my love...
I haven't seen him all day long!
At night I sang much better
The fado of the Mouraria!
The breath of a longing
Came to kiss me every hour
To be more at ease
I sent the longing away!
When he came back to the nest,
He, who can't even whistle,
He came whistling quietly
The fado of the Mouraria!
He came whistling quietly
The fado of the Mouraria ...!
