I'm from Fado, as I know how
My life a sang poem
From a Fado I have invented
Speaking I cannot give myself
But as I start my soul singing
And other souls know how to listen
I have cried, I have cried
Poets of my country
Branches of the same root
Of the life that brought us together
And if you
Weren't by my side
Then
There would be no Fado
Nor Fado singers as myself
