Canto O Fado
Lenita Gentil
Sing the Blues
There's a good remedy
For all the suffering, you see
It's to sing, and in a moment
No one remembers the misery
It really costs nothing
Try to do it like I do
A tuned guitar
A voice that’s strong and true
And you forget it all
When sadness takes me over
I sing the blues
If longing haunts my mind
I sing the blues
Let jealousy run wild
I sing the blues
For a hope that’s lost
Don’t let life
Get you down too hard
If luck has left you behind
Just do like I do
Let it go, sing the blues
It’s not that I don’t care
For those who can’t take the pain
But some folks seem to prefer
To walk around feeling drained
They always wear a fatal look
That no one makes them wear
And in this life, you know
When you really think it through
Nothing’s worth more
Than a simple tune.
