Paroles et traduction António Zambujo - Fado Desconcertado

Fado Desconcertado

Ensaiava eu meus fados
Quando entraste desabrida
Nós não estávamos zangados
Mas vi-te os olhos molhados
E o dedo apontado à ferida

Disseste que não te ligo
Que até esqueci onde moro
E que só vejo o meu umbigo
E embora viva contigo
É com o fado que namoro

Fiquei tão desconcertado
Por te saber infeliz
Que mesmo desafinado
Te pedi perdão num fado
Por tanto mal que não fiz

Desde então, se estás carente
De coração apertado
Passas sem medo entre a gente
E sentada à minha frente
Pedes que cante esse fado

Fado Desconcertado

I was practicing my fados,
When you came in, unabashed,
We weren't angry,
But I saw your eyes, tear-stained,
And your finger pointing at the wound.

You said I don't care about you,
That I've even forgotten where I live,
And that I only care about myself,
And that even though I live with you,
It's with the fado that I'm in love.

I was so disconcerted,
To know that you were unhappy,
That even though I was out of tune,
I asked for your forgiveness in a fado,
For all the wrong I didn't do.

Since then, if you're needy,
With a heavy heart,
You pass through the people without fear,
And sitting in front of me,
You ask me to sing that fado.
