Tudo Isto É Fado

You asked me the other day
If I knew what fado was
I told you I didn't know
You were amazed
Not knowing what I was saying
I lied at that moment
I told you I didn't know
But I'll tell you now

Defeated souls
Lost nights
Bizarre shadows
In Mouraria
A ruffian sings
Guitars weep
Love jealousy
Ashes and fire
Pain and sin
All this exists
All this is sad
All this is fado

If you want to be my lord
And have me always by your side
Don't just talk to me about love
Also talk to me about fado
And fado is my punishment
It only existed to lose me
Fado is everything I say
Plus what I can't say
