Translation of the song lyrics Fado Malhôa - Amália Rodrigues, Celeste Rodrigues

Fado Malhôa (original)

Alguém que Deus já lá tem
Pintor consagrado
Que foi bem grande
E nos fez já ser do passado
Pintou numa tela
Com arte e com vida
A trova mais bela
Da terra mais querida
Subiu a um quarto que viu
A luz do petróleo
E fez o mais português
Dos quadros a óleo
Um Zé de Samarra
Com a amante a seu lado
Com os dedos agarra
Percorre a guitarra
E ali vê-se o fado
Dali vos digo que ouvi
A voz que se esmera
Dançando o Faia banal
Cantando a Severa
Aquilo é bairrista
Aquilo é Lisboa
Aquilo é fadista
Aquilo é de artista
E aquilo é Malhoa

Fado Malhôa (translation)

Someone God already has there
consecrated painter
which was very big
And made us already be from the past
painted on a canvas
With art and with life
The most beautiful thunder
From the dearest land
He went up to a room he saw
The light of oil
And made the most Portuguese
from oil paintings
A Zé from Samarra
With the lover by your side
With fingers grabs
Goes through the guitar
And there you see the fado
From there I tell you that I heard
The voice that takes care of itself
Dancing the banal beech
Singing Severe
That's neighborhood
That's Lisbon
that is fado
That's from artist
And that is Malhoa
