À Porta Da Vida(original) |
| Bati à porta da vida |
| Rasguei os ossos da mão |
| Fugi de cães a ladrar |
| Fui muitas vezes vencida |
| Deixei um rasto no chão |
| Mas não deixei de cantar |
| Bati à porta da vida |
| Sequei a cara nas mangas |
| Virei os olhos ao céu |
| Dei-me ao fado assim vestida |
| De amor, ciúmes e zangas |
| Porque este fado sou eu |
| Nenhuma faca me corta |
| Perdi o medo do mar |
| Levei o mar de vencida |
| Encontrei a minha porta |
| Nunca deixei de cantar |
| E moro à porta da vida |
| (translation) |
| I knocked on the door of life |
| I tore the bones of my hand |
| I ran away from barking dogs |
| I was defeated many times |
| I left a trail on the floor |
| But I didn't stop singing |
| I knocked on the door of life |
| I dried my face on my sleeves |
| I turned my eyes to the sky |
| I gave myself to fado dressed like this |
| Of love, jealousy and anger |
| Because this fado is me |
| No knife cuts me |
| I lost my fear of the sea |
| I took the sea of defeat |
| I found my door |
| I never stopped singing |
| And I live at the door of life |
