Loucura

I’m from the fado
As I know
I live a sung poem
Of a fado that I made up

When I speak
I can’t give myself
But I put my soul to sing
And souls know how to listen to me

Cry, cry
Poets of my country
Branches of the same root
Of the life that brought us together

And if you all
Weren’t by my side
Then there wouldn’t be fado
Nor fado singers like I am

This voice
So full of pain
Is the fault of all of you
Poets of my life

It’s madness
I hear them say
But blessed is this madness
Of singing and suffering

Cry, cry
Poets of my country
Branches of the same root
Of the life that brought us together

And if you all
Weren’t by my side
Then there wouldn’t be fado
Nor fado singers like I am

And if you all
Weren’t by my side
Then there wouldn’t be fado
Nor fado singers like I am
