Fado Boémio e Vadio
Piedade Fernandes
Bohemian and Vagabond Fado
There's a fado that is sung
There's another that is felt
There's a mistreated fado and another that is lost
There's a fado that is longing, another that is joy
Fado has no age, it will always be company!
For being bohemian and vagabond
It's like a ship arriving in the evening
It took hold of my soul
Took me out of calm, didn't even say why it came!
Bring guitar and viola
Vest and jacket, that's how fado is!
Whatever the reason, fado is alive, inside of me!
There's a fado in the alleys, another in the salons
There's a fado in the candlelight, another calling hearts!
There was a spoken fado, there was a fado song
The sad fate of fado is greater than an emotion!
For being bohemian and vagabond, it's like a ship arriving in the evening
It took hold of my soul
Took me out of calm, didn't even say why it came!
Bring guitar and viola, vest and jacket, that's how fado is!
Whatever the reason, fado is alive, inside of me
