Lyrics
Talvez a mãe fosse rameira de bordel
Talvez o pai um decadente aristocrata
Talvez lhe dessem à nascença amor e fel
Talvez crescesse aos tropeções na vida ingrata
Talvez o tenham educado sem maneiras
Entre desordens, navalhadas e paixões
Talvez ouvisse vendavais e bebedeiras
E as violências que rasgavam corações
Talvez ouvisse vendavais e beredeiras
E as violências que rasgavam corações
Talvez ardesse vagamente em várias chamas
Talvez a história fosse ainda mais bizarra
No desamparo teve sempre duas almas
Que se chamavam a viola e a guitarra
Pois junto delas já talvez o reconheçam
Talvez recusem dar-lhe o nome de enjeitado
E mesmo aqueles que não cantam não esqueçam
Nasceu assim, cresceu assim, chama-se fado
E mesmo aqueles que não cantam não esqueçam
Nasceu assim, cresceu assim, chama-se fado
Lyrics translation
Maybe the mother was a whore from a brothel
Maybe the father a decadent aristocrat
Maybe they will give him at birth love and fel
Perhaps it grew to stumbles in the ungrateful life
Maybe they brought him up without manners.
Between disorders, scuffles and passions
Maybe he heard wind and drink.
And the violence that tore hearts
Maybe he heard windbreaks and beredeiras
And the violence that tore hearts
Maybe it burned vaguely in several Flames
Perhaps the story was even more bizarre
In helplessness he always had two souls
Who were called the viola and the guitar
For they may already recognize him
Maybe they'll refuse to give him the name of a cheetah.
And even those who do not sing do not forget
Born like this, grew up like this, it's called fado
And even those who do not sing do not forget
Born like this, grew up like this, it's called fado
