María La Portuguesa

(original)
En las noches de luna y clavel
De Ayamonte hasta Villareal
Sin rumbo por el rio, entre suspiros
Una canción viene y vá
Que la canta María
Al querer de un andaluz
María es la alegría, y es la agonía
Que tiene el sur
Que conoció a ese hombre
En una noche de vino verde y calor
Y entre palmas y fandangos
La fue enredando, le trastornó el corazón
Y en las playas de isla
Se perdieron los dos
Donde rompen las olas, besó su boca
Y se entregó
Estribillo:
Ay, María la portugesa
Desde Ayamonte hasta Faro
Se oye este fado por las tabernas
Donde bebe viño amargo
Porque canta con tristeza
Porque esos ojos cerrados
Por un amor desgraciado
Por eso canta, por eso pena
¡Fado!
porque me falta su boca
¡Fado!
porque me faltan sus ojos
¡Fado!
porque se fue por el rio
¡Fado!
porque se fue con la sombra
Dicen que fue el te quiero
De un marinero, razón de su padecer
Que en una noche en los barcos
De contrabando, p’al langostino se fue
Y en las sombras del rio
Un disparo sonó
Y de aquel sufrimiento, nació el lamento
De esta canción
Ay, María la portugesa
Desde Ayamonte hasta Faro
Se oye este fado por las tabernas
Donde bebe viño amargo
Porque canta con tristeza
Porque esos ojos cerrados
Por un amor desgraciado
Por eso canta, por eso pena
¡Fado!
porque me falta su boca
¡Fado!
porque me faltan sus ojos
¡Fado!
porque se fue por el rio
¡Fado!
porque se fue con la sombra
(translation)
In the nights of moon and carnation
From Ayamonte to Villareal
Without direction by the river, between sighs
A song comes and goes
That Maria sings
At the will of an Andalusian
Mary is joy, and she is agony
What does the south have
that she met that man
In a night of green wine and heat
And between palms and fandangos
She was messing it up, she upset his heart
And on the island beaches
both were lost
Where the waves break, she kissed his mouth
and she gave herself
Chorus:
Oh, Maria the Portuguese
From Ayamonte to Faro
This fado is heard in the taverns
where he drinks bitter wine
because he sings sadly
Why those closed eyes
for an unhappy love
That's why she sings, that's why sorrow
Fado!
because I miss her mouth
Fado!
because I miss his eyes
Fado!
because she went by the river
Fado!
because she left with the shadow
They say that he was the I love you
Of a sailor, reason for his suffering
That in a night on the boats
Contraband, for the shrimp he left
And in the shadows of the river
a shot rang out
And from that suffering, lament was born
of this song
Oh, Maria the Portuguese
From Ayamonte to Faro
This fado is heard in the taverns
where he drinks bitter wine
because he sings sadly
Why those closed eyes
for an unhappy love
That's why he sings, that's why he's sorry
Fado!
because I miss her mouth
Fado!
because I miss his eyes
Fado!
because he went by the river
Fado!
because he left with the shadow
