O Porquê do Fado

Sara Correia Sara Correia

The Why of Fado

Don't ask me why fado is
Ask fado what it saw in me
That found me and we walk arm in arm
Since I became a person, it's been like this

Don't ask me why I chose it
If my heart was already speaking and I was listening
It was the song of the streets where I grew up
That rocked the tune of my agony

Don't ask me why fado is
Don't ask me if I'm sure
It's not a choice, it's being, it's being marked
You ask me why fado is
You ask me why life is

Don't ask me if sadness weighs on me
From these verses and poems so old
It's a song that’s a prayer, it’s a chant
That turns my demons into my friends

Don't ask me why I want to stay
If the whole world began and ends here
It was he who saw me and came to get
From the other lives I unknowingly lived

Don't ask me why fado is
Don't ask me if I'm sure
It's not a choice, it's being, it's being marked
You ask me why fado is
You ask me why life is
Don't ask me why fado is
Don't ask me if I'm sure
It's not a choice, it's being, it's being marked
You ask me why fado is
You ask me why life is
