Amor de Mel, Amor de Fel [English translation]

I have a love

Which I can't confess to anyone about

But yet, which I can cry for.

A love and sin altogether, a love of love

A sweet love, a love of flower

A love, bitter and grand

A love by me beloved

I have a love,

A love, painful and grand,

A love that I cry, singing in minor key.

In minor key, the major fado

I sing crying

My tears filling the sea.

I can't stop loving

This love and not sin

It was the dove

That came to me in Spring.

I was who I used to be.

A love and sin, a love of love,

A sweet love, a love of flower,

A love, bitter and grand,

A love by me beloved.

I have a love,

A love, painful and grand,

A love that I cry, singing in minor key.

In minor key, the major fado

I sing crying

My tears filling the sea.

I can't stop loving

This love and not sin

A major Fado

That I sing in minor key,

Crying out my painful love

A pain for a sentiment, deep and yet unfulfilled
