Fado da sina [English translation]

Do you pray for the sign

In the lines drawn

In the palm of your hand


That two lives

Ar e crossed

In your heart


Sign of bitterness,

Of pain and torture,

Of lost hope


A marked clue,

Of love shattered

In the life line.

And more you pray for

In the love line

That you have to suffer


The disenchantment

Of the bland charms

Of another woman


Since bad luck so wanted,

To tell you your destiny


That till death

You must

Always be unhappy.

You can not escape

The black brutal fate


To your fatal destiny

That a bad star controls


You can lie

To the laws of your heart


But alas… whether you like it

Or not


You must fulfil your destiny.

Crossing the road

Of the life line

Drawn in your hand


You have a cross,

A barely contained affection

That was an illusion


Love that in secret,

Was born almost a fear

For your suffering


And this image was

The grateful mirage

Of your thought.

And still you pray for

The black destiny

That you have to embitter


Your star

Of divine radiance,

Stopped shining


Star that God chose for you,

But that shines little


And whose light

At the foot of the cross

Is already extinguished.

You can not escape from

The black brutal fate

To your fatal destiny

That a bad star controls

You can lie

To the laws of your heart


But alas… whether you like it

Or not


You must fulfil your destiny.
