Fado Malhoa

Some one whom God has already

A venerated painter,

Some one who was so great

Who makes us now part of the past,

On canvas he painted

With art and with life

The most beautiful still

Of our beloved land.

Climbing to a room and saw

By the petrol light

And made the most Portugues

Of all paintings in oil

Showing Ze de Samarra

With his lover by his side

Cluching with his fingers

Procuring the guitar

And there you see fado.

In this I tell you I saw

The voice striving

Dancing a banal faia

Singing Severa

This is parochial

This is Lisbon

This is fadista

This is artistry

This is Malhoa.
