Novo Fado Alegre
Carlos do Carmo
New Joyful Fado
Friend
Open your voice too and come with me
We'll never sing the old fado again
Now
In every verse, there's a man who doesn't cry
And the future is the place where we live
Singing is being a bird of hope
Perched in the eyes of a child
Who never tires of looking
Friend
I’ll tell you words as golden as wheat
Today singing is learning to be with you
Now
Every word tastes like a blackberry
That we pick and bite throughout life
Singing is having a Sun inside our voice
And sharing the Sun with all of us
Singing means we’re not alone
Friend
I’ll knock with the words at the door
Listen to the meaning of the news I tell you
Now
Every song will have the strength of a dawn
That we ignite and carry through life
Singing is being a bird of hope
Perched in the eyes of a child
Who never tires of looking
Friend
Don’t be afraid of fatigue or punishment
Our voice gives us warmth, gives us shelter
The time
Is to send nostalgia and tears away
And in another fado, we’ll break free through life
