Assim nasceu este fado [English translation]

By seeing your golden eyes

And that kind of pureness

In an hour without caution

Sadness was born within me

And then it happened, that I felt

In my soul another pain

Oh, maybe because I saw you

Love was born within me

You went away and I am sorrow

I am madness and anxiety

More sorrowful in that moment

Longing was born within me

My dream burned instantly

Your eyes were my fire

In that distant hour

Jealousy was born within me

The day became colder

Stranger and more hurt

And in the dark night

This fado was born within me
