Fado de Amor e Pecado

Swallows flew away, far from my rooftop
The boats that lie here were from another place
Who knows, love, where it goes
Who knows the pain that falls upon us
The wind passes by us and the rest is the sea

I killed the red rose I wore at my neckline
I dyed the sheets with the anger of love and sin
Look at my hands, my love
Look into my eyes, sir
Sing guitars, sing the sadness of fado

Goodbye love that I killed
The sea that will find our hearts
Goodbye love that I swore
My rose of fire and passion

I was flesh of love and jealousy, I was wine and madness
A bud of a carnation, my love, pinned to your lapel
I cried, love, at this end
I dried up inside
I left a red rose at your window

I draped my shawl over my face, this fado is in mourning
I washed your blood in the rain that leads to longing
Look at my hands, my love
Look into my eyes, sir
Sing guitars, sing my freedom
