Maria Severa

In an alley in Mouraria
Where the joy of the sun does not show up
Maria Severa has died
Do you know who she was? ... maybe no one
 
A heartfelt and warm voice
That today said goodbye to the earth
Missed voice, absent voice
But which lives forever
Within us and next to God
Beyond in the heavens
 
Far away where moonlight and the blue are brighter
I see her praying at the foot of a cross
Guitars, chirrup, facing the sky
Fado singers cry because she died
 
Night fell in the lane
When her gaze stopped looking
Departed forever defeated
Leaving the life that made her cry
 
She leaves an idolized son
Of which other equal affection does not exist
It is called 'the sad fado'
Which will be left abandoned
Lost was the greatest treasure
 

Someone

Someone shall pay for your contempt
Someone shall suffer for your disdain
Someone shall, one day, bend from the weight
Of the evil I feel for liking someone
 
Someone who will appear in my life
Someone who I don't know yet, even
Someone will judge me as lost
When after all I'm nothing more than woman
 
Because of someone who cheated and drove me crazy
To someone, for vengeance, I will be mean
Because of someone who kissed my mouth
I will kiss without love, at God's will
