A Fadista

(original)
Vestido negro cingido
Cabelo negro comprido
E negro xaile bordado
Subindo à noite a Avenida
Quem passa julga-a perdida
Mulher de vício e pecado
E vai sendo confundida
Insultada e perseguida
P’lo convite costumado
Entra no café cantante
Seguida em tom provocante
P’los que querem comprá-la
Uma guitarra a trinar
Uma sombra devagar
Avança para o meio da sala
Ela começa a cantar
E os que a queriam comprar
Sentam-se à mesa a olhá-la
Canto antigo e tão profundo
Que vindo do fim do mundo
É prece, pranto ou pregão
E todos os que a ouviam
À luz das velas pareciam
Devotos em oração
E os que há pouco a ofendiam
De olhos fechado ouviam
Como a pedir-lhe perdão
Vestido negro cingido
Cabelo negro comprido
E negro xaile traçado
Cantando pra aquela mesa
Ela dá-lhes a certeza
De já lhes ter perdoado
E em frente dela na mesa
Como em prece a uma deusa
Em silêncio ouve-se o fado
(translation)
black dress girded
long black hair
E black embroidered shawl
Going up the Avenue at night
Who passes thinks her lost
Woman of Addiction and Sin
And it is being confused
Insulted and persecuted
By the usual invitation
Enter the singing café
Followed in a provocative tone
For those who want to buy it
A guitar to sing
a shadow slowly
Advances to the middle of the room
She starts singing
And those who wanted to buy it
They sit at the table and look at her
Ancient song and so deep
That coming from the end of the world
Is it a prayer, crying or tender
And all who listened to her
In the candlelight they seemed
Devotees in Prayer
And those who had just offended her
With eyes closed, they listened
How to ask for forgiveness
black dress girded
long black hair
E black traced shawl
Singing to that table
She gives them the certainty
of having already forgiven them
And in front of her on the table
As in prayer to a goddess
In silence, the fado is heard
