Original lyrics
Tudo isto é fado
Perguntaste-me outro dia
Se eu sabia o que era o fado
Eu disse que não sabia
Tu ficaste admirado
Sem saber o que dizia
Eu menti naquela hora
E disse que não sabia
Mas vou-te dizer agora
Refrão:
Almas vencidas
Noites perdidas
Sombras bizarras
Na Mouraria
Canta um rufia
Choram guitarras
Amor, ciúme
Cinzas e lume
Dor e pecado
Tudo isto existe
Tudo isto é triste
Tudo isto é fado
Se queres ser meu senhor
E teres-me sempre a teu lado
Não me fales só de amor
Fala-me também do fado
É canção que é meu castigo
Só nasceu p'ra me perder
O fado é tudo o que eu digo
Mais o que eu não sei dizer
Refrão
Amor, ciúme
Cinzas e lume
Dor e pecado
Tudo isto existe
Tudo isto é triste
Tudo isto é fado

Translation
It Is All Fado
You asked me the other day
If I knew what fado was
I told you I didn't know
You were surprised
Not knowing what to say
That time I lied
And said I didn't know
But now I'll tell you
Chorus:
Defeated souls
Lost nights
Graceful shadows
In Mouraria*
A pimp sings
Guitars cry
Love and jealousy
Ashes and fire
Pain and sin
It all exists
It is all sad
It is all fado
If you want to be my man
And always have me by your side
Tell me not only about love
Tell me also about fado
Fado is my punishment
It was born for me to lose my way
Fado is all that I say
And all that I can't say
Chorus
Love and jealousy
Ashes and fire
Pain and sin
It all exists
It is all sad
It is all fado

Author's comments:
* Mouraria is one of Lisbon's oldest districts with a long tradition of fado singing. The word "pimp" refers to the fact that this neighborhood has long been known for prostitution.
