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 |
