In Your Letter

In your letter present here
That I waited a long time for
You come tell me simply
I will return but I don't know when
 
In your letter response to mine
That harshly punishes me
Let me tell you now
That I'm reading between the lines
 
But if you see that I could be mistaken
And without wanting me to delude myself
Quickly write another letter reminding
That you still want me just for you
 
But if you don't write announcing
That we will join our lives
Your letter will become on the list of forgotten letters
 
From your letter response to mine

Fado from Ribatejo

I don't walk happily anymore
Through the fields of my land
The warm light don't even warm me anymore
Of the sunny afternoons of the land
Escaped from me the sun of venture
Of the sky of my illusion
And to the God's voice, a dark night
Fell upon my heart
 
Chorus
 
Oh, Ribatejo
Father of my Tejo
I don't see you anymore
Always singing
Your horizons
Rivers and springs
Fields and hills
I feel that's crying
All the beauty
Of nature
I find sadness, desolation
As I find black the destiny
Because the peasant is in prison
 
Always laughing I barely knew
That laughter is the cousin of sorrow
And has the holly joy
Of the people of the riverside
The mother's love which all gives
(that's how I remember it)
And only teaches us pleasure
It was just in the school of life
That I learned how to suffer
 
Chorus
 

Song for a poet

poet, who had
Just like me
Worlds of verses
That no one had ever dreamed
Was i me the disdained shadow
That got lost from the world
And someday in your lines
Found itself
With another brother of the book
Who was once mine
Made of verses
Where someone passed
Was I the most delicate flower
Who got lost from the world
And someday found itself
In your verses
Don't say no
To the life you have created
Don't say no
Don't say no
In each verse you gave yourself to life
And life falls whole
Onto your hand
Poet who no one understood
And, quietly, the fortune disowned
Was I the transfigured faith
Who got lost from the world
And someday found itself
In your verses
Don't say a word
Don't say a word
For every dream
Is a flame Without being ember
And the dream fits whole
Into your hand
And the dream fits whole
Into your hand
And life fits whole
Into your hand
 

Ballad of the lost words

In my girlhood I went to school
To learn
To write, to count
To live
And the words were charmed worlds
Visited only by those who could figure their meanings
Bit by bit
I abandoned the dictionary
As I made of life
My daily notebook
And the words that this world
That, as a child, I had a glimpse of
Letter by letter, one by one
Sorrow by sorrow I lost
In your love are letters of falsehood
I read the lie on which you wrote a truth
Empty words, a hope, an illusion
Returned words and also forgiveness
Are the same. But now where I am
So lost that a lifetime is too much
For us, if it's our fate we'd walk
Your hands on my hands
Let's walk side by side
My lover and brother are the same
On the words
But now where I am
 

Farewell Mouraria

Farewell, oh old houses
Of narrow little alleys
Where the fado has once lived
 
Farewell, oh neighborhood of my charms
On your most beautiful spots
Only nostalgia remained
 
Farewell Mouraria
Farewell tradition
I already hear the city
Singing and missing
Your song
 
And the old houses
Made of stone
Along the way
Whisper
Farewell Mouraria
 
Farewell modest dormer window
Of the merry sardines
And the moonlit kisses
 
Farewell strange taverns
Where on the wild nights
Guitar went to weep
 
Farewell Mouraria
Farewell tradition
I already hear the city
Singing and missing
Your song
 
And the old houses
Made of stone
Along the way
Whisper
Farewell Mouraria
 
INSTRUMENTAL
 
And the old houses
Made of stone
Along the way
Whisper
Farewell Mouraria
 

Lost Ways

I don't find ways
I won't find destinations to, with you,
With the moonlight,
I can send you
An anthem of longing
From heart, from my heart
A ship sailing around
on the waves and always under de sun
of lost sails
In the loneliness and distance
I don't know where you are
I don't know where I am
I'm always looking for you
Oh, babe, I'll send you flowers
I'll send it to waves
Even if I don't know where they're going to
Or where they will die
Maybe in your hands
The roses change their colors
And, with the heart,
They live of love
A ship sailing around
on the waves and always under de sun
of lost sails
In the loneliness and distance
I don't know where you are
I don't know where I am
I'm always looking for you
Missing love
I don't know where you are
I don't know where I am
Looking for you
Missing love
One day I'll find you
Burning love
