Lyrics

Émeu e vosso este fado
Destino que nos amarra
Por mais que seja negado
Às cordas de uma guitarra
Sempre que se ouve o gemido
De uma guitarra a cantar
Fica-se logo perdido
Com vontade de chorar
Ógente da minha terra
Agora éque eu percebi
Esta tristeza que trago
Foi de vós que a recebi
E pareceria ternura
Se eu me deixasse embalar
Era maior a amargura
Menos triste o meu cantar
Ógente da minha terra
Agora éque eu percebi
Esta tristeza que trago
Foi de vós que a recebi

Lyrics translation

Emeu and yours this fado
Destiny that binds us
As much as it is denied
To the strings of a guitar
Whenever you hear the groan
From a guitar to sing
You get lost soon
With a desire to cry
O Lord of my land
Now is that I realized
This sadness I swallow
It was from you that I received it
And it would seem tenderness
If I let myself pack
The bitterness was greater
Less sad my singing
O Lord of my land
Now is that I realized
This sadness I swallow
It was from you that I received it
